Digital Signature Standard
(redirected from Digital Signature Algorithm)

    Also found in: Acronyms, Wikipedia 0.02 sec.
(cryptography, standard)Digital Signature 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 an algorithm using discrete logarithms, which is a variant of the Elgamal algorithm with Schnorr's improvements. DSS's security is currently considered very strong - comparable to RSA. It is estimated that DSS's 1024-bit keys would take 1.4E16 MIPS-years to crack.

Other cryptographic algorithms currently validated by the CMVP are the Data Encryption Standard (DES), the Triple Data Encryption Standard (TDES), the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA), the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-1), and the Random Number Generator algorithm (RNG).

Because the Diffie-Hellman and the MQV techniques are based on the same fundamental mathematics as the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA), additional efficiencies and functionality may be obtained by combining these and other cryptographic techniques.
