Summary

  

The essence of the digital signature is to provide a key pair that can verify a digest and generate a signature for verification. If the data, signature or key doesn't match, then the message is corrupted. The public key that can validate the message can only come from the specific person who signed the message using his or her private key. If a different public key is used, then the signature will not verify. The signature on the message, in most cases, will be unique and can easily verify whether changes have been made to the message in transit. Because the validation on the sender's private key, data, and signature can be accomplished, it is normally assumed that it can be guaranteed that the message came from a specific user.
