Validate Digi-sign CCW Certificate For Free

When a digital signature is verified, the signature is decrypted using the public key to produce the original hash value. The data that was signed is hashed. If the two hash values match, then the signature has been verified.

Locate the digital signature object within the document. Right click or command-click on the signature object. Select "Verify Signature" from the context menu.

To validate the digital signature person authenticating the certificate will take the message of the certificate and then uses the same hash algorithm. If the two hashes match then the digital signature is valid and the certificate is authenticated.

Hash functions are used to "digest" or "condense" a message down to a fixed size, which can then be signed, in a way that makes finding other messages with the same hash extremely difficult (so the signature wont apply easily to other messages).
