Low-Cost, High-Security Solutions for Digital Signature Algorithm - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18077043 titled 'Low-Cost, High-Security Solutions for Digital Signature Algorithm
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for generating digital signatures for communications using random numbers and private keys for security.
- The method involves generating a random number by a first device.
- The random number is used to mask only a private key, a hash of the communication, or a combination of both.
- The masked signature is then provided with the communication to a second device.
Potential Applications
Digital signature generation can be applied in various fields such as secure communication, document verification, and authentication processes.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in ensuring the security and authenticity of digital communications by generating unique signatures that can only be decrypted by authorized devices.
Benefits
The use of random numbers and private keys enhances the security of digital signatures, making it difficult for unauthorized parties to forge or tamper with the communication.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications include secure messaging platforms, document management systems, and online transaction verification services.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art in digital signature generation is the use of cryptographic algorithms like RSA or DSA to create secure signatures for electronic communications.
What are the specific cryptographic algorithms used in this method?
The specific cryptographic algorithms used in this method are not mentioned in the abstract.
How does this method compare to existing digital signature generation techniques in terms of security and efficiency?
The abstract does not provide a comparison of this method with existing digital signature generation techniques in terms of security and efficiency.
Original Abstract Submitted
Generally discussed herein are devices, systems, and methods for digital signature generation security. A method can include generating, by a first device, a first random number, in generating a signature for a communication, masking, using the first random number, only a private key, a hash of the communication, or a combination thereof, and providing the signature with the communication to a second device.
