Digital Signature Standard
Digital Signature Standard (cryptography, standard)The NIST's standard for digital signatures (authenticating both a message and the signer)that was first announced in 1991. It is based on analgorithm using discrete logarithms, which is a variant ofthe Elgamal algorithm with Schnorr's improvements. DSS'ssecurity is currently considered very strong - comparable toRSA. It is estimated that DSS's 1024-bit keys would take1.4E16 MIPS-years to crack.AcronymsSeeDSS |
