| A **Digital Signature** is a mathematical technique used to validate the authenticity and integrity of a message, software or digital document. It's the digital equivalent of a handwritten signature or stamped seal, but it offers far more inherent security. A digital signature is intended to solve the problem of tampering and impersonation in digital communications. | A **Digital Signature** is a mathematical technique used to validate the authenticity and integrity of a message, software or digital document.
