RSA Signatures, Python and Hazmat

At the core of digital trust is the usage of digital signatures. With this, we can verify the creator of the data, and also that it has not been modified. We do this using public-key encryption, and in this article, we will look at how we can use the hazmat (Hazardous Material) primitives in the Python cryptography library.

With public-key encryption, we create a key pair: a public key and a private key…
