Generation

A digital signature verifies the authenticity and integrity of digital documents or messages, ensuring they haven't been altered and confirming the sender's identity. It provides non-repudiation, meaning the signer cannot deny having signed the document. Digital signatures are essential for secure online transactions, legal documents, and protecting against fraud and tampering.
