A digital signature is an electronic analogue of a written signature in that the digital signature can be used in proving to the recipient or a third party that the message was, in fact, signed by the originator.
The DSA is used by a signatory to generate a digital signature on data and by a verifier to verify the authenticity of the signature.
Digital signatures are used to detect unauthorized modifications to data and to authenticate the identity of the signatory.
XML signature application; conformance requirements for each are specified by way of schema definitions and prose respectively.
The XML Signature is a method of associating a key with referenced data (octets); it does not normatively specify how keys are associated with persons or institutions, nor the meaning of the data being referenced and signed.
Detached signatures are over external network resources or local data objects that reside within the same XML document as sibling elements; in this case, the signature is neither enveloping (signature is parent) nor enveloped (signature is child).
"Signature Guitars - Made for Musicians, by Musicians" (6) was the company motto and when an experienced player picked up a Signature and played it the time and care that went in to producing the instrument was evident.
Signature had cutaways that gave access to all 22 frets, the body was sculpted and contoured at the back and neck joint to optimize comfort and playability.
Unlike their competitors Signature took pride in their instruments and saw it as their responsibility to deliver the finest quality rather than churn out candy sticks, even though this was an extreme financial risk.
This Signature class is used to provide applications the functionality of a digital signature algorithm.
This signature object is reset to its initial state (the state it was in after a call to one of the
The returned parameters may be the same that were used to initialize this signature, or may contain a combination of default and randomly generated parameter values used by the underlying signature implementation if this signature requires algorithm parameters but was not initialized with any.
Practical message digest algorithms compromise in favour of a digital signature of modest size created with an algorithm designed to make preparation of input text with a given signature computationally infeasible.
Computes the signature of the specified infile or the string supplied by the -d option and compares it against the specified signature.
Note that the signature argument to the -c option may use upper or lower case hexadecimal digits (or a mix) regardless of the setting of this option.
signature is a free, open-source producer of dynamic signatures for livening up your e-mail and news postings.
In recent years, I've used Perl more or less exclusively, and - since it's such a flexible language - I just never got further than the basics of C. I decided to change all that recently and have been doing a lot of reading and sifting through C code.
signature is pretty much the first fruit to come of these labours.
A digital signature is a "stamp" Bob places on the data which is unique to Bob, and is very difficult to forge.
To verify the signature on the document, Pat's software first uses Susan's (the certificate authority's) public key to check the signature on Bob's certificate.
If Bob's public key de-encrypts the signature successfully, then Pat is assured that the signature was created using Bob's private key, for Susan has certified the matching public key.

Orginally, all this script could do was "float" the signature from below quoted messages to be above quoted messages.

It makes perfect sense for the signature to be at the bottom.

From: FAQ Editor Subject: 3.0 What to Put in Your Signature and Finger Files It is good netiquette to keep your signature to four lines or fewer.
For signatures it's a good idea to keep the width less than 75 characters so that if your signature is included in a followup preceded by an attribution character (like `> '), each line will still be on one line.
- A digital signature (not to be confused with a digital certificate) is an electronic signature that can be used to authenticate the identity of the sender of a message or the signer of a document, and possibly to ensure that the original content of the message or document that has been sent is unchanged.
Digital signatures are easily transportable, cannot be imitated by someone else, and can be automatically time-stamped.

Those engaging in electronic commerce will want to know that the message and the electronic "signature" attached to the message can both be verified and can be used in court to bind the "signer" to the deal.
Looking ahead, the American Bar Association Section of Science and Technology Law has produced the first legal overview of the use of cryptology, electronic signatures, and entity authentication over an open network like the Internet.
The resulting document is called the Digital Signature Guidelines, now available online for FREE from the ABA.

The informal standards for CSS signatures are still settling down, but the obvious one seems to be that you take the base URL of your site, convert the dots to hyphens, and you're done.
