One way of guaranteeing the integrity of Alice's message is to create a concise summary of her message and send this to the bank as well. Upon receipt of the message, the bank creates its own summary and compares it with the one Alice sent. If they agree then the message was received intact. </P><P> A summary such as this is called a message digest, one–way function, or hash function. Message digests create short, fixed–length representations of longer, variable–length messages. Digest algorithms are designed to produce unique digests for different messages. Message digests make it difficult to determine the message from the digest, and difficult to find two different messages which create the same digest –– eliminating the possibility of substituting one message for another while maintaining the same digest. </P><P> Another challenge that Alice faces is finding a way to send the digest to the bank securely; when this is achieved, the integrity of the associated message is assured. One way to to this is to include the digest in a digital signature. </P></DIV><DIVCLASS="NAVFOOTER"><HRALIGN="LEFT"WIDTH="100%"><TABLEWIDTH="100%"BORDER="0"CELLPADDING="0"CELLSPACING="0"><TR><TDWIDTH="33%"ALIGN="left"VALIGN="top"><AHREF="introduction-to-cryptography.htm">Prev</A></TD><TDWIDTH="34%"ALIGN="center"VALIGN="top"><AHREF="ospki-book.htm">Home</A></TD><TDWIDTH="33%"ALIGN="right"VALIGN="top"><AHREF="signatures.htm">Next</A></TD></TR><TR><TDWIDTH="33%"ALIGN="left"VALIGN="top">Introduction to Cryptography</TD><TDWIDTH="34%"ALIGN="center"VALIGN="top"><AHREF="introduction-to-cryptography.htm">Up</A></TD><TDWIDTH="33%"ALIGN="right"VALIGN="top">Digital Signatures</TD></TR></TABLE></DIV></BODY></HTML>⌨️ 快捷键说明
