Signatuurinformatie

Signatuurinformatie refers to the data associated with a digital signature. This information serves to authenticate the signer and verify the integrity of the document or data that has been signed. It typically includes the signer's public key, which is used to decrypt the signature and confirm its validity. Additionally, signatuurinformatie often contains details about the digital certificate that binds the public key to the signer's identity, such as the certificate issuer and its expiry date. The hashing algorithm used to create the signature is also usually part of the signatuurinformatie, allowing the recipient to recalculate the hash of the document and compare it with the one embedded in the signature. This comprehensive set of data ensures that the digital signature is trustworthy and that the signed content has not been tampered with since it was signed.
