7 At Sender Side •1. Message digest is generated using a set of Hash functions.
•2. A message digest is encrypted using senders private key.
•3. The resulting encrypted message is known as digital
signature.
•4. Digital signature is attached with data or message and send
to receiver. At Receiver Side 1. Receiver uses senders public key to decrypt senders digital signature to obtain message digest send by receiver.
2. Receiver uses same message digest algorithm, which is used
by sender
3. Now, receiver will compare these two message digest
4. If message digest are equal then signature is valid else not.
