Efektivní schémata digitálních podpisů / Efficient Digital Signature Schemes

Digital signatures, which take the properties of classical signatures, are used to secure the actual content of documents, which can be modified during transmission over an insecure channel. The problems of security and protection of communicating participants are solved by cryptographic techniques. Identity verification, message integrity, credibility, the ownership of documents, and the secure transmission of information over an unsecured channel, are all dealt with in secure communications - Public Key Infrastructure, which uses digital signatures. Nowadays digital signatures are often used to secure data in communication over an unsecured channel. The aim of the following master’s thesis is to familiarize readers with the necessary technological aspects of digital signatures, as well as their advantages and disadvantages. By the time digital signatures are being used they will have to be improved and modified to be secure against more sophisticated attacks. In this paper, proposals of new efficient digital signature schemes and their comparison with current ones are described. Also are examined their implications for computationally weak devices, or deployment in low speed channel transmission systems. After an explanation of cryptography and a description of its basic subjects, digital signatures are introduced. The first chapter describes the possible formatting and architecture of the digital signature. The second part of this master’s thesis is about current digital signature schemes and their properties. Chapter 3 describes some proposals of new efficient digital signature schemes and their comparison to those currently in use. In the practical part, the implementations (in the environment .NET in C#) of two effective digital signature schemes as part of a client-server application are presented and described (Chapter 4). In the last chapter the comparison and analysis of the implemented signature schemes are provided.
