2. Digital signature - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_signature

   Digital signatures cryptographically bind an electronic identity to an electronic document and the digital signature cannot be copied to another document. Paper contracts sometimes have the ink signature block on the last page, and the previous pages may be replaced after a signature is applied.

3. Electronic authentication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_authentication

   Often, authentication and digital signing are applied in conjunction. In advanced electronic signatures, the signatory has authenticated and uniquely linked to a signature. In the case of a qualified electronic signature as defined in the eIDAS-regulation, the signer's identity is even certified by a qualified trust service provider.

   The role of the certificate authority is to authoritatively state to whom the certificate belongs, meaning that this person or entity possesses the corresponding private key. However, a digital signature is forensically identical in both legitimate and forged uses. Someone who possesses the private key can create a valid digital signature.

5. Electronic signature - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_signature

   An electronic signature, or e-signature, is data that is logically associated with other data and which is used by the signatory to sign the associated data. [1] [2] [3] This type of signature has the same legal standing as a handwritten signature as long as it adheres to the requirements of the specific regulation under which it was created (e.g., eIDAS in the European Union, NIST-DSS in the ...

6. Self-signed certificate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-signed_certificate

   RFC 5280 defines self-signed certificates as "self-issued certificates where the digital signature may be verified by the public key bound into the certificate" [7] whereas a self-issued certificate is a certificate "in which the issuer and subject are the same entity". While in the strict sense the RFC makes this definition only for CA ...

7. Message authentication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_authentication

   Message authentication is typically achieved by using message authentication codes (MACs), authenticated encryption (AE), or digital signatures. [2] The message authentication code, also known as digital authenticator, is used as an integrity check based on a secret key shared by two parties to authenticate information transmitted between them.
