Abstract

Nowadays data sharing over the internet is a major and critical issue due to security problems. So more security mechanisms are required to protect the data while sharing through an unsecured channel. Open network transactions of messages be they of any kind demands the digital signature technique. Being one of the most important developments in public key cryptography, the digital signature provides a collection of security patches that help in providing at most authenticity and security. The digital signature is related to the secure Hash function. In this paper, we have reviewed the most recent and efficient Digital signature algorithms in digital communications and summarized the respective gaps.
