How to sign a document with an EDS programmatically?

Question

Programming

Good afternoon. What does it mean to sign a document with an EDS? What is the procedure for signing? (meaning programmatically and not with pens on the document signing site)

Answer 1

EDS is a mechanism that allows to form a bit sequence for any data. Both the data itself and the personal key of the person who signs the data are involved in its formation. This bit sequence is called a signature. It can be transferred along with the data, and then you can verify the signature and verify the authorship and integrity of the data.
The EDS mechanism includes two main processes: signature generation, signature verification.
The use of EDS helps to check the integrity of data, confirm authorship, and protect against data forgery.
There is a Russian GOST on the EDS: GOST 34.10-2012. In this document, you can learn more about the processes of generating and verifying a signature.
