Authenticity with Secrecy

Next Slide

TO SEND A MESSAGE THAT IS SIGNED SECRETLY, THE SENDER MUST USE ENCRYPTION TWICE.

TO SEND A MESSAGE, BOB:
  • ENCRYPTS IT WITH HIS PRIVATE KEY AS A SIGNATURE,
  • THEN ENCRYPTS THE RESULT WITH ALICE'S PUBLIC KEY FOR PRIVACY.

WHEN SHE RECEIVES A MESSAGE, ALICE:

  • DECRYPTS THE MESSAGE WITH HER PRIVATE KEY TO MAKE IT ACCESSIBLE,
  • DECRYPTS IT USING BOB'S PUBLIC KEY TO VERIFY ITS SOURCE,
  • SAVES THE HALF-ENCRYPTED VERSION SO SHE CAN PROVE BOB SENT IT LATER.
