Key Points
Non-Repudiation services are implemented by digital signature mechanisms,
such as the RSA Public Key Algorithm.
Presentation Script
The technique of digital signature can be used to implement the non-repudiation
service. On the emerging information highway, the digital signature replaces the
handwritten signature as a legal proof of authenticity. It may be used to provide
for proof of origin, proof of delivery, proof of submission and proof of transport.
A digital signature is used directly to provide proof of whom the data sender
was. A digital signature is used to sign ...
