| Mar 6, 2013 at 15:40 | comment | added | user5187 | I don't understand how it would not provide authenticity since it would be difficult to generate a meaningful message without the secret. It seems to me that one should be able to state that a message is almost certainly created by someone who had the secret. Although, 'authenticity' may have a more strict definition in this field than how I understand it. | |
