Report Overview
[170+ Pages Research Reports] Digital Signature Market to surpass USD 77.5 billion by 2032 from USD 3.6 billion in 2021 at a CAGR of 32.2% in the coming years, i.e., 2022-32.
Product Overview
Digital signature is a type of electronic signature that offers added verification of the individual’s identity signing documents. It does this by providing a digital ID and an encoded stamp authentication stamp to confirm the information created by them. A digital signature deals with the problem of tampering and impersonation in digital communications. Digital signatures are built on public key cryptography, also known as asymmetric cryptography. Public key cryptography's two mutually authenticating cryptographic keys are used in digital signatures. The person who creates the digital signature encrypts the data associated with it using a private key, and only the signer's public key can be used to decrypt it.
