Public key encryption using Hash digest

Not started

Public key cryptography combined with hash functions and digital signatures provides authentication, nonrepudiation, and integrity — features missing from simple public key encryption.

  • Explain what is missing from simple public key encryption.
  • Define hash function and message digest.
  • Describe how digital signatures are created and verified.
  • List the security dimensions this combined approach provides.
