Abstract
A digital signature algorithm refers to a standard for digital signatures, which is based on the algebraic properties of discrete logarithm problem and modular exponentiations based on public-key cryptosystems principal. Digital signatures are work on the principle of two mutually authenticating cryptographic keys, i.e., a public key and a private key. In this chapter, we have discussed the digital signature algorithm, elliptic curve digital signature algorithm (ECDSA), and Edward curve digital signature algorithm (EdDSA). With this, the detailed working and cryptographic functionality of these ...
