    Highlights of Digital Signature
    A DSC contains user’s information such as name, physical address, email address, country, date of issued certificate, etc. A DSC is explicitly associated with the owner’s identity with two keys – private keys and public keys. The authentication is possible and successful only if both the keys are available and match. The private key is stored on the user's computer hard disk or on an external memory device. The user retains control of the private key; it can only be used with the issued password. The public key is diffused with the encrypted information. This means that the encrypted data cannot be decrypted and therefore, is inaccessible to unauthorized parties.

     

    Digital Signatures are of three types:
  • Class I – This certificate is issued to individuals. These validate the name and email address of the user and hence are used in securing email communications.
  • Class II – This certificate is issued for both personal and private use of an individual.
