In this blog, we are describing the Digital signature, and it’s their features and usefulness. Whenever you create the files digitally, it doesn’t matter if the files are media files, executable files, documents, or any other files; they are always signed digitally by some sources of that data.
We will try to explain you with the example when the setup file which relates to an executable file for a Google Chrome browser, then they sign the setup file digitally. So, whenever any file is directly downloaded from the official or authorized website or sources, then the authenticity of that file can be verified by itself. In the same, if someone will swarm the file to their servers that are fine because that swarm file will not be modified by any means. But if the file is very worn down and need some modifications into the code which are already being made, then the digital signature will automatically remove from the file, and therefore, the authenticity of the setup file will not be verified, as if the digital signature is automatically removed.
