요약	A digital signature scheme provides authentication, integrity assurance, and non-repudiation of electronically signed documents. Using public-key cryptography (such as RSA, DSA, or ECDSA), the originator signs a message with a private key in a way that any recipient can verify the signature using the originator's public key, proving that the message was created by the claimed author and has not been tampered with.	The Diffie-Hellman key exchange, invented by Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman in 1976, is a foundational protocol for establishing a shared secret over an insecure communication channel. Two parties who have never previously communicated can use Diffie-Hellman to agree on a symmetric encryption key that an eavesdropper cannot easily derive, even after observing all public exchanges.
