However , if a message is digitally signed , any change in the message after signature will invalidate the signature . Furthermore , there is no efficient way to modify a message and its signature to produce a new message with a valid signature , because this is still considered to be computationally infeasible by most cryptographic hash functions ( see collision resistance ) .
The message can not be modified , and if modified a new message with a valid signature can not be produced .

Digital signatures cryptographically bind an electronic identity to an electronic document and the digital signature can not be copied to another document . Paper contracts often have the ink signature block on the last page , and the previous pages may be replaced after a signature is applied .
A digital signature is an electronic signature .
Digital signatures can also provide non-repudiation , meaning that the signer can not successfully claim they did not sign a message , while also claiming their private key remains secret ; further , some non-repudiation schemes offer a time stamp for the digital signature , so that even if the private key is exposed , the signature is valid nonetheless .
Digital signature are implemented using cryptography . Digital signatures can also provide acknowledgement , meaning that the signer can not successfully claim they did not sign a message , while also claiming their private key remains secret ;
