Abstract :
The comments received by the National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST) on their proposed digital signature standard (DSS), included criticisms of the generation of keys. The problems concerning key generation can be avoided by using effective techniques. The paper discusses the effective generation of keys for the DSA, based on algorithms which can run on a personal computer
