Question

define digital signature and digital inclusion

Answer 1

I know only digital signature......
Digital Signature is a process that guarantees that the contents of a message have not been altered in transit.

Answer 2

A digital signature is a mathematical scheme for demonstrating the authenticity of digital messages or documents. A valid digital signature gives a recipient reason to believe that the message was created by a known sender (authentication), that the sender cannot deny having sent the message (non-repudiation), and that the message was not altered in transit (integrity).[1]

Digital signatures are a standard element of most cryptographic protocol suites, and are commonly used for software distribution, financial transactions, contract management software, and in other cases where it is important to detect forgery or tampering.


Digital inclusion is the ability of individuals and groups to access and use information and communication technologies." From “Building Digital Communities: A Framework for Action”, 2011

To help explain digital inclusion, we've created a Digital Inclusion Infographic.
