Secure Digital Signature Schemes based on Hash Functions

Abstract

One of the major challenges facing consultants today is maintaining a level of knowledge of leading and emerging technologies, beyond the superficial or buzzword level. We need to develop a level of understanding that allows us to communicate effectively with both suppliers and customers.Digital signature scheme is a fundamental cryptographic tool which allows one to sign an electronic message and later the produced signature can be verified by the owner of the message. This paper presents a digital signature scheme and discusses the security aspects of proposed digital signature scheme. This paper provides a literature review and analysis of the security systems and the emphasis is on digital signature, hashed message algorithm.
