A DSA implementation for CC and OpenComputers.
Zomg what's DSA and why do I need it.Simple, it's the Digitial Signature Algorithm, it allows you to sign and verify files.What does signing and verification mean?Well, I'd write up about it but I have only 3 minutes to write this post so read! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Signature_AlgorithmHow does one use this API?Well, this is the hard part. Essentially you have to gen a key and then strip it using a ASN.1 decoder. HOWEVER, a tutorial will be published as soon as possible.Source: https://github.com/RainbowDashDC/DSALua

Sound interesting, but it this much security really needed?

It's not *needed* but it's good for verification purposes.

Wow this is actually quite amazing.
Do you think you could make an ECDSA implementation as well?

Couldn't login when I tried to respond so I guess I forgot to respond, apologies.
Anyways, I could, but the math is a bit more different. I'll play around and see what I can do.

This is neat, but I'm a bit confused how you would prove the authenticity of a digital signature?

Sorry for the late response, however this is not really a
problem. By design you can never truly prove the authenticity unless in person. This is what is known as the "Web of Trust". I'd recommend reading about how PGP works, and what the WoT is.
