Solution

Govindha should use his private key to encrypt the message digest. This is because digital signatures use the sender's private key for encryption. This way, anyone who has Govindha's public key (which should be everyone) can decrypt the message, verifying that it came from Govindha and hasn't been tampered with in transit.
