Digital Signature with openSSL on the GNU/Linux Console

At very first, a private/public key pair is being created.
Afterwards, a sample message, which gets created, is hashed, that is, creating a digital fingerprint from it. Thereafter, this message hash is encoded using the private key, which then is simply attached to the plain message. The receiver of this message may now use the public key of the sender to decode the hash and see if the message sent is authentic.

Making a video showing authentication methods in action is really a sign of severe boredom. Writing a tutorial showing ppl how to use those methods actually is useful in respect to the variety of information one can deliver. BTW you should use a better font size, when doing those things.
