Abstract

This paper examines the crucial function of digital signatures in guaranteeing electronic communications' validity, integrity, and non-repudiation. It investigates digital signatures' technological advancement and practical uses in diverse sectors by thoroughly analyzing foundational technologies, including Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and cryptographic hash functions. It also considers emerging innovations such as blockchain-based trust models and quantum-resistant algorithms. Significant difficulties, such as cryptographic flaws and regulatory harmonization, are also addressed. The results indicate the imperative for ongoing improvements in cryptographic techniques and incorporating decentralized trust mechanisms to bolster system resilience, as digital signatures are indispensable for safe digital transactions. The results underscore the necessity of implementing innovative cryptographic solutions and aligning international rules to address the requirements of advancing digital ecosystems.
