This document discusses achieving data integrity through digital signatures using the RSA and SHA-1 algorithms. It first provides background on data integrity and cryptography. It then explains the RSA algorithm for public key encryption and digital signatures. The document describes an implementation of RSA and SHA-1 to encrypt messages and generate message digests at the sender and receiver ends to verify data integrity by ensuring the digests match. Graphical interfaces are provided to enhance understanding and the system is designed with client and server architecture to demonstrate the process across different computers.
