A digital signature is a way for a sender of information to verify themselves to the receiver. It is equivalent to your signature on a letter in the physical world. Digital signatures are based on a very strong class of cryptography that makes forging a digital signature nearly impossible.

Bitmunk uses digital signatures when communicating across the network, thus ensuring that the people you connect to are really who they say they are.
