It deal deals s with with encr encryp ypti tion on,, decryption and authentication. There There are are two two types types of Cryptog Cryptograph raphy: y: 1. Secret key or Symmetric Cryptography 2. Public key or Asymmetric Asymmetric Cryptography
In Symmetric Cryptography the sender and receiver of a message know and use the same
secret key to encrypt the message, and
the receiver uses same key to decrypt the message. Asymmet Asymmetric ric (or public public key) Cryptograph Cryptography y involves involves two related related keys, one of which only the owner knows (the 'private key') and the other which anyone can know (the 'public key'). The advantages of Asymmetric Cryptography are that: •

verified. The digital signature of a document is a piece of information based on both the document and the signer’s private key. It is typically created through the use of a hash function and a private signing function (encrypting with the signer’s private key). Digital Signatures and hand – written signatures both rely on the fact that it is very hard to find two people with the same signature. People use public –key cryptography to compute digital signatures by associating some someth thin ing g uniq unique ue with with ea each ch pers person on..

All direct schemes described so far have a common flaw: The validity of the scheme depends on the security of the sender’s private key. If a sender later wishes to deny sending a particular message, he can claim that the private key was lost or stolen and that someone else forged his signature. Administrative controls relating to the security of private private keys can be employed to thwart or at least weaken this ploy. One example is to require every signed message to incl includ ude e a time timest stam amp p (dat (date e and and time time)) and and to re requ quir ire e prompt

DIGITAL SIGNATURE STANDARD The National Institute Institute of Standards Standards and Technology has published Federal Information processing standards Publications (FIPS PUBS), known as digital signature standard. The DSS makes use of the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) and present a new digital signature technique called the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) appropriate for applications requiring a digital rather than written signature. The DSA digital digital signature is a pair pair of large numbers numbers represented in a computer as strings of binary digits. The digital signature is computed using a set of rules (i.e., the DSA) and a set of parameters such that the identity of the signatory and integrity of the data can be verified. The DSA

The digital signature is sent to the intended verifier along with the signed data (often called the message). The verifier of the message and signature verifies the signature by using the sender's public key. The same hash function must also be used in the verification process. The hash function is specified in a separate standard, the Secure S ecure Hash Standard (SHS), FIPS 180. Similar procedures may be used to generate and verify signatures for stored as well as transmitted data.
