Digital signatures ensure the integrity and authenticity of digital messages or documents. By providing a means to verify the origin and confirm that the content has not been altered, digital signatures play a pivotal role in maintaining trust in digital communications.

In PKC, anyone can encrypt their message with the receiver's public key, and only the receiver can decrypt the message with their private key. In digital signatures, on the other hand, if a signer generates a signature for a message using their private key, anyone can validate it using the signer's public key. Therefore, the message of the signature is made public, which distinguishes it from cryptographic commitments.
