  2. cryptlib - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptlib

    cryptlib is a security toolkit library that allows programmers to incorporate encryption and authentication services to software. It provides a high-level interface so strong security capabilities can be added to an application without needing to know many of the low-level details of encryption or authentication algorithms.

  3. Digital Signature Algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Signature_Algorithm

    The algorithm uses a key pair consisting of a public key and a private key. The private key is used to generate a digital signature for a message, and such a signature can be verified by using the signer's corresponding public key.

  4. Rabin cryptosystem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabin_cryptosystem

    [3] [4] [5] The Rabin signature scheme was the first digital signature scheme where forging a signature could be proven to be as hard as factoring. The trapdoor function was later repurposed in textbooks as an example of a public-key encryption scheme, [ 6 ] [ 7 ] [ 1 ] which came to be known as the Rabin cryptosystem even though Rabin never ...

  5. Comparison of cryptography libraries - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_cryptography...

    Comparison of implementations of message authentication code (MAC) algorithms. A MAC is a short piece of information used to authenticate a message—in other words, to confirm that the message came from the stated sender (its authenticity) and has not been changed in transit (its integrity).

  6. Digital signature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_signature

    A digital signature is an authentication mechanism that enables the creator of the message to attach a code that acts as a signature. The Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA), developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, is one of many examples of a signing algorithm. In the following discussion, 1 n refers to a unary number.

  7. Public-key cryptography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography

    The two best-known types of public key cryptography are digital signature and public-key encryption: In a digital signature system, a sender can use a private key together with a message to create a signature. Anyone with the corresponding public key can verify whether the signature matches the message, but a forger who does not know the ...

  8. Pretty Good Privacy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy

    The sender uses PGP to create a digital signature for the message with either the RSA or DSA algorithms. To do so, PGP computes a hash (also called a message digest ) from the plaintext and then creates the digital signature from that hash using the sender's private key.

  9. Digital Signature Standard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Signature_Standard

    It defines the Digital Signature Algorithm, contains a definition of RSA signatures based on the definitions contained within PKCS #1 version 2.1 and in American National Standard X9.31 with some additional requirements, and contains a definition of the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm based on the definition provided by American ...
