Digital Signature Process Diagram

A clear visual representation of how digital signatures work. It illustrates the two main phases: signing a message and verifying its authenticity. In the signing phase, a message is processed with a private key (represented by the red key) to produce a unique digital signature. This signature is then attached to the message. In the verification phase, the message and its accompanying signature are checked using a corresponding public key (depicted as the green key) to confirm the sender's identity and ensure the message hasn't been tampered with.
