NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 3) which is identical with ISO/IEC 9796-3 : 2006 'Information technology Security techniques - Digital signature schemes giving message recovery - Part 3: Discrete logarithm based mechanisms' issued by the Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1 of International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) jointly was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Information Systems Security and Biometrics Sectional Committee and approval of he Elecronics and Information Technology Division Council.

The text of the ISO/IEC Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words 'International Standard' appear referring to this standard, they should be read as 'Indian Standard'.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker in the International Standard while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
