What is a Digital Signature?

A digital signature is a legally valid signature created by a pair of encrypted numbers known as the public key and private key to authenticate documents. The documents signed using digital signatures are attested with the specific time, date, name of the person/organization, address, email address, pin code, and name of certifying authority along with the signature.

Mainly, the RSA algorithm is used to generate the public key and private key stored in a Hardware Security Module (HSM) or cloud HSM. Digital signatures follow the protocols of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) which manages and stores signers' information using asymmetric cryptography to ensure high assurance security. Only the licensed Certifying Authorities (CA) who are approved by the Controller of Certifying Authority (CCA) are authorized to issue digital signature certificates in India. A digital signature certificate holds the verified identity of the signer and it is used to digitally sign documents for a multitude of use cases.

In other word, this is used to sign documents which are in digital form and its hold same validity as you physically sign on paper documents. In these days many documents are shared uploaded digitally including confidential documents so it’s important that shared documents should be secure and authentic.
