How Arbitrated Digital Signatures Work

1. Setup: All parties trust a central arbitrator who holds verification keys
2. Signing:
   1. Sender creates message and sends to arbitrator
   2. Arbitrator verifies sender's identity
   3. Arbitrator creates signature using its private key
   4. Signature is returned to sender with message
3. Verification:
   1. Recipient receives message with signature
   2. Recipient sends to arbitrator for verification
   3. Arbitrator checks signature using its public key
   4. Arbitrator confirms validity to recipient
4. Dispute Resolution: Arbitrator can settle any disputes about signature validity
