About RSA Message Signing
RSA Digital Signatures use RSA cryptography to create digital signatures that prove message authenticity and integrity. RSA is one of the first public-key cryptosystems and is widely used for secure data transmission.
Signing Process: Uses your RSA private key to create a unique mathematical signature that can be verified by anyone with the corresponding public key, without revealing the private key.
Signing Algorithms:
- RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5: Traditional RSA signatures
- RSA-PSS: Probabilistic signature scheme (more secure)
Key Formats:
- PEM - Standard ASCII format
- JWK - JSON Web Key format
- PKCS8 - Base64 encoded binary
Recommended Key Sizes:
- 2048 bits: Standard security for most applications
- 3072 bits: High security for sensitive data
- 4096 bits: Maximum security (slower performance)
Use Cases:
- Document authentication and integrity verification
- Software distribution and code signing
- API request signing for secure communication
- Email security (S/MIME) and digital certificates

Critical Security Notice
Never share your private key with anyone! This tool processes data locally in your browser, but you should never use real private keys in online tools for production purposes. Always use this tool with test keys only, and generate production keys in secure, offline environments.
