If you want to include this here then it need to be reflected earlier as something different than digital signatures. </question> I personally like to distinguish the usage of asymmetric from symmetric algorithms. Some people use the term digital signatures for both; I don't. When I use the term digitial signature I am not talking about HMAC-based operations.
