Document Summary
Discuss a professional application that deploys a digital signature. The discussion topic can be found on the discussion board under. Post your response in the discussion forum by the end of tuesday of. Week 2, and respond to at least one of your classmates by the end of. A digital signature is an algorithm that is used to authenticate any form of communication. Examples of these communications are emails, digital contracts, and legal documents. A digital signature is unique to either an organization or an individual for the purpose of protecting information and data for any digital messages/documents. There are different types of signature algorithms include a digital signature algorithm (dsa), an rsa digital signature algorithm, and a elliptic curve digital signature algorithm (ecdsa). Digital signatures can be used by individuals to confirm that it has been signed by a specific person and that the signature and/or the message associated with the signature has not been tampered with.
