Digital Signatures - 26 Resources 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. The ability to ensure that the original signed message arrived means that the sender cannot easily repudiate it later. A digital signature can be used with any kind of message, whether it is encrypted or not, simply so that the receiver can be sure of the sender's identity and that the message arrived intact. A digital certificate contains the digital signature of the certificate-issuing authority so that anyone can verify that the certificate is real. --<em>Whatis.com</em> <p> Digital signatures are a method of authenticating digital information analogous to ordinary physical signatures on paper, but implemented using techniques from the field of cryptography. Digital signatures differ in some respects from their physical counterparts, however, The term electronic signature, although sometimes used for the same thing, has a distinct meaning: it refers to any of several, not necessarily cryptographic, mechanisms for identifying the originator of an electronic message. In common law, such electronic signatures have included cable and Telex addresses, as well as FAX transmission of handwritten signatures on a paper document. --<em>Wikipedia</em> Publications (6)EDUCAUSE publications address a diverse range of professional challenges in higher education IT, from updates on current developments to explorations of important overarching issues.
