  Digital Signatures provide functionality of signing data and verification of

  'PublicKeySign' for signing of data, and 'PublicKeyVerify' for verification
  of signatures. Implementations of these interfaces are secure against
  adaptive chosen-message attacks. Signing data ensures the authenticity and
