--- abstract: |+ In this thesis, we propose some directed signature schemes. In addition, we have discussed their applications in different situations. In this thesis, we would like to discuss the security aspects during the design process of the proposed directed digital signature schemes. The security of the most digital signature schemes widely use in practice is based on the two difficult problems, viz; the problem of factoring integers (The RSA scheme) and the problem of finding discrete logarithms over finite fields (The ElGamal scheme). The proposed works in this thesis is divided into seven chapters. altloc: [] chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: - 5333 creators_name: - family: balyan given: Manoj honourific: Kumar lineage: raghuvanshi date: 2003-11 date_type: published datestamp: 2004-12-30 department: Dr. B.R.A.
