What Are The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Digital Signatures?

Abstract

A digital signature, whereby the conditions are met, provides a receiver with extremely strong reason to think that the intended message has been created personally by a known sender (digital authentication), and that no modification in the transmission has been made in the course of delivery. Digital signatures have become a core component of many current and future cryptology-based email applications and have been utilized by users since the 1990s. They are now being utilized in much more advanced internet applications, as well. Digital signatures have become a part of how people transfer money online, as well. Without them, it would be difficult to send funds from one party to another. Digital signatures have become a standard component of many new and upcoming email applications, as well.
