WazirX hack: What are ‘Digital Signatures’ that were accessed by hackers?

A digital signature is a mathematical technique used to validate the authenticity and integrity of a digital document or message. It provides a higher level of security compared to traditional handwritten signatures, making them more difficult to forge. As demonstrated by the WazirX hack, multi-signature wallets, while generally more secure, can still be compromised if attackers gain access to the required digital signatures.
