Schultz) Newsgroups: comp.compression Subject: public key encryption Message-ID: Date: 28 Mar 91 20:55:49 GMT Article-I.D.: halley.SCHULTZ.91Mar28145545 Sender: news@mmm.serc.3m.com Organization: 3M Company, 3M Center, Minnesota, USA Lines: 18 I am looking for a technique of implementing a digital signature. One technique I am aware of is called public key encryption as in "A Method for Obtaining Digital Signatures and Public Key Crypto Systems", Comm. ACM, 21, 2, Feb 1978. This is a fairly old article however and I am looking for relevant, more recent work/references. (Source code would be nice too!) Alternatively, does anyone know of other, perhaps simpler, techniques for secure digital signatures. The one drawback that I am aware of with public key encryption is that the "key" is a very long integer (100 digits?) which makes it rather difficult to remember. Thanks. -- John C.
