Digital signatures ensure that data has not been altered and confirm the identity of the sender.
What are Digital Signatures used for?
Digital signatures are used to secure communications, validate software integrity, and support legal and compliance requirements. They are widely used in email security (e.g., DKIM) and software distribution.
Organizations use digital signatures to prevent tampering, support non-repudiation, and strengthen Cryptography practices.
