Procedure:
1. Creating a digital signature for a given text file.
2. To encrypt and decrypt the text file and verify Digital Signature.

SOFTWARE REQUIRED: VM Virtual Box, Kali Linux OS

Execute the commands stated below:

openssl genrsa -des3 -out private.pem 2048

Generate private key with length 2048. Now enter a passphrase, and remember that passphrase.
openssl rsa -in private.pem -outform PEM -pubout -out public.pem

Generate public key.

Echo “lab10.pvt”>mssg.txt

We will take a text file ‘mssg.txt’ which contains data ‘lab10.pvt’.


openssl dgst -sha1 -sign private.pem -out sign mssg.txt

Create digital signature. The below command will create a file ‘sign’ that contains digital
signature.

openssl dgst -sha1 - verify public.pem - signature sign mssg.txt

To verify the digital signature.


openssl enc -aes-256- cbc -base64 -in mssg.txt

openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -base64 -in mssg.txt

Send the encrypted data to the receiver.


openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -d -base64 -in out.txt -out outDecrypted.txt

In the receiver end, decrypt the out.txt file

openssl dgst -sha1 -verify public.pem -signature sign outDecrypted.txt

Verify the digital signature to check for the correctness of the file.
