<dd>A code created from both the data to be signed and the private key of the

added to a message changes the digital signature for that message.
Successful validation of your digital signature by appropriate software not
only provides evidence that you approved the transaction or message but
also provides evidence that the data has not changed since you digitally
signed it. A digital signature has nothing to do with a handwritten signature,
although it can sometimes be used for similar legal purposes.</dd>
