What is a DSC and how does it work?

Answer 1

A Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is an electronic form of identity issued by a certifying authority that verifies the identity of the holder. It contains information like your name, public key, and the certifying authority’s details.

It works using public key infrastructure (PKI): when you sign a document with your DSC, it encrypts the data using your private key. The recipient uses your public key to verify that the signature is valid and the document hasn’t been altered.

Answer 2

A DSC, or Digital Signature Certificate, is a digital equivalent of a physical signature. It is used to authenticate the identity of the sender of an electronic document. DSCs work by using encryption technology to create a unique digital signature that can be verified by the recipient to ensure the authenticity and integrity of the document.
