Abstract

Online trading is becoming more popular every day, making safety the primary issue while dealing electronically. The Digital Signature approach is important for securing transactions over open networks. It can be used in a variety of ways to secure the integrity of data sent or saved, as well as to prove the originator's identity to the recipient. When transferring data, the user must ensure that the original data is not tampered with in the process of moving it from sender to receiver. In order to assure security and avoid fraud, it has also become necessary to authenticate users on a regular basis. There are many various methods of online identification, with digital signatures being one of the most powerful. A study is conducted in this paper to determine the use of digital signatures and people's attitudes toward them in developed and developing countries.
