What is a public key?
Friday, 09 August 2024 by Emmanuel Udofia
A public key is a fundamental concept in public-key cryptography, which is an essential branch of cybersecurity. Public-key cryptography, also known as asymmetric cryptography, involves the use of two distinct but mathematically related keys: a public key and a private key. These keys are used for encryption and decryption, as well as for digital signatures
How does the process of creating and verifying a digital signature using asymmetric cryptography ensure the authenticity and integrity of a message?

The process of creating and verifying a digital signature using asymmetric cryptography is a cornerstone of modern cybersecurity, ensuring the authenticity and integrity of digital messages. This mechanism leverages the principles of public-key cryptography, which involves a pair of keys: a private key and a public key. The private key is kept secret by the
