Ensuring Electronic Signature Legitimateness for Security in Canada

How to eSign a document: electronic signature legitimateness for Security in Canada

so here's a simple demonstration of hashing and digital signatures specifically creating and verifying digital signatures so digital signatures are used to show integrity and I you the user sent this information and message and no one else did they're assigned using your private key and decrypted using your public key so this is how creating individual signatures work so the sender takes a plaintext puts it through the hashing function and creates the hashed plaintext then the sender uses his private key in order to encrypt the hashed plaintext and create a digital signature so this is how receiving and verifying digital signatures work so the recipient receives the plaintext with the digital digital signature and removes a digital signature away from the plaintext and then he uses the sender's public key to decrypt the digital signature and is left with the hashed plaintext then the recipient takes the plaintext and puts it through the hashing algorithm himself to create the hashed plaintext then all he has left to do is compare the two hashed plaintext one that comes from the digital signature and the other that he asked himself if those two hashed plaintext match then that shows that the digital signature is valid
