ABSTRACT
The history of digital signatures
The remarkable and hitherto largely unsuspected adaptability and malleability of the original Diffie/Hellman formulation of digital signatures in terms of public key cryptosystems
The severest of the acceptance problems they have encountered
Areas of a proposed solution that addresses several of the problems
About Dr. G. R. Blakley
Dr. G. R. Blakley is Professor, and formerly Head, of the Texas A&M University Mathematics Department. He holds a Ph. D. degree in mathematics from the University of Maryland, as well as a D. Univ. degree from the Queensland University of Technology for his work in cryptology. He did postdoctoral years at Cornell and Harvard, and has held faculty appointments at the University of Illinois, the State University of New York at Buffalo, and Wright State University.
His cryptologic research areas include secret sharing, public key cryptography, periodicities of finite state machines, fingerprinting and watermarking, cryptosystems obeying Shannon-style design criteria, high-speed encryption and decryption, and general theory of codes.
