Digital signatures provide authentication and integrity for electronic documents and transactions. They use public key cryptography where a document is encrypted with the sender's private key and decrypted by the recipient's public key. A digital certificate issued by a certificate authority binds the signer's identity to their public key and is verified using the CA's digital signature. Common uses of digital signatures include software updates, financial transactions, and legally binding documents.
