What are Asymmetric algorithms?
Read more: What are Asymmetric algorithms?Asymmetric algorithms are very important in cryptography and especially in digital signatures. The first asymmetric cryptography algorithms were introduced by Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman in the 1970s. The main difference between classical and symmetric cryptography is that instead of using a key to encrypt and decrypt, you should now use a pair of keys.…

What is a Digital Signature and how does it work?
Read more: What is a Digital Signature and how does it work?A digital signature is a mechanism we can use to verify the authenticity of a message/document. It is usually needed in situations when there is no trust between sender and receiver. We can use a digital signature to verify the author of the signature, to authenticate the content of the message. Also, third parties must…
