Digital Signature

Your digital signature is the proof that you signed something
Your digital signature attests to the fact that your data was not tampered with
In asymmetric key system you ought to sign with the private key 🗝 or any symbol representing one

Example:

message: any expression from symbols to numerals to expressions to images to audio and video and so on.

🗝🫆message;

🫆: Free Form language symbol for digital signature in binary operator form in this case. key🫆message computes a signature for the message given this key. Operator form 🫆should be thought of a multiplication a ⨉ b where two left and right operands are act on each other to compute a product. In a 🫆b, the key a acts on the message/data b to output a signature.

message = "hi";

signature = 🗝🫆message;

Verify Signature

Signature, generally performed in another program in another system and in the past. To access that signature Free Form language follows the path paradigm e.g. "/certs/free/signature1"
base = "/certs/free/signature1"; states that the symbol base represents the path on the rhs; base can by any other symbol/word
s = "base/signature/value"; allows the access to the external signature value again in path form and s presents the accessed signature
key = "base/🔑"; in paired key cryptography systems, assumption is everyone has access to the public key 🔑. This public key is then used to verify if the computed signature was indeed performed by the secret private key 🗝 .

base = "/certs/free/signature1";

s = "base/signature/value";

key = "base/🔑";

message = "hi";

q = ( ✍🏻 s ⚲ message  ) message)🫆key;

show q;

save as verify1;

Output:

"q" ⟶ True
