Digital signature
A digital code attached to an electronically transmitted message to identify the sender. A digital signature uses an algorithm with two different but mathematically related cryptographic keys: one key for creating a digital signature or transforming data into a seemingly unintelligible form, and the other key for verifying a digital signature or returning the message to its original form. Like a written signature, the purpose of a digital signature is to authenticate the sender of the message and plays an important role in e-commerce.
