✨ DSA(5) ✨

okay bestie, we're in the Lsh Manuals section and this one is literally just vibes about cryptography 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

DSA — the Digital Signature Algorithm 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so. DSA is the Digital Signature Algorithm, and it's specified in [DSS] — which is the standard for public-key based digital signatures coming straight from NIST, aka the U.S. National Institute for Standards and Technology 🏛️✨

the way that DSA employs SHA(5)… it's giving teamwork, it's giving iconic duo 🫶

if you wanna know about the DSS itself — like its history and its security — go peek at [AC2]. no cap, that's where the lore lives 📚
