In a typical public key crypto system, such as DSA, a private key corresponds to exactly one public key. Private and public keys exist in pairs in all public key cryptography systems (also referred to as " public key crypto systems"). These are numbers, each of which is supposed to be known only to the particular entity whose private key it is (that is, it's supposed to be kept secret). In some systems the identity is the public key, in others it can be anything from a Unix UID to an Email address to an X.509 Distinguished Name.Ī signature is computed over some data using the private key of an entity (the signer, which in the case of a certificate is also known as the issuer). The data is rendered unforgeable by signing with the entity's private key.Ī known way of addressing an entity. If some data is digitally signed it has been stored with the "identity" of an entity, and a signature that proves that entity knows about the data. Public keys are used to verify signatures. These are numbers associated with a particular entity, and are intended to be known to everyone who needs to have trusted interactions with that entity.
