Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Digital signatures use the PKI standard and the Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) encryption program, as both reduce potential security issues that come with transmitting public keys. They validate that the sender’s public key belongs to that individual and verify the sender’s identity.

Detailed explanation-2: -A digital signature consists of a message digest encrypted with the message sender’s private key. The message digest, which is much shorter than the original message, is created from the message using a process known as hashing . It is not possible to reconstruct the original message from the message digest.
