Abstract
A computerized process is described for improving a computer's digital signing capabilities that results in digital signatures that are substantially more secure with enhanced proof of data integrity, signatory authentication, and signatory non-repudiation without modification to underlying signature algorithms. The process utilizes computing resources, plaintext to be signed, and eight asymmetric cryptography digital signature algorithms each utilizing a specified hash algorithm and different private key from a public-private key pair. A novel mechanism is described that copies bit values from common bit positions of plaintext bytes into eight partitions. Each partition of bytes is independently signed using a signature algorithm and the resulting partitions of signed bytes are combined to form a digital signature. As the digital signature verification requires eight signature algorithms each utilizing a specified hash algorithm and a public key from the public-private key pair used for signing, such digital signature is significantly improved over signing with a single signature algorithm utilizing a hash algorithm and key.
