Digital Signature:

Public-key primitives of message authentication are called digital signatures.

Given Information:

Alice has a message ready that can be sent to the people who require it. Thousands of people want to obtain Alice's message, but everyone wants to be sure of the integrity of the message

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Assume Alice has a letter prepared to deliver to anyone who requests it. Thousands of people want to get their hands on Alice's letter, but they all want to be sure it's genuine. Do you think a MAC-based or a digital-signature-based integrity scheme is better in this case? What is the reason for this?
Give an example of each type of authentication and the risks that come with it. Then give an answer.Bob compares a password that has been hashed to a database that also has hashes.Bob looks at what's in a database and compares it to a double-hashed password.
For practical encryption that involves secret message transmission from Alice to Bob, why is the message encrypted with the shared symmetric key rather than Bob's public key? What is the significance of using Bob's public key to encrypt the shared symmetric key?
