i am conmfused about digital signature using assymetric key cryptography

Question

in DIGITAL SIGNATURE in RSA approach most people and you tuber have told PRIVATE KEY is used for encryption and PUBLIC KEY for decryption . When I searched about working mechanism of RSA algorithm. I found that public key are used for encryption and private key are used for decryption. I am confused. so please someone help me?

No, Private decrypts, public encrypts. – Antoniossss Mar 30 '19 at 18:00 — Antoniossss, Mar 30 '19 at 18:00

PRIVATE KEY is used for encryption and PUBLIC KEY for decryption

It is exacly the other way around. Public key encrypts, private key decrypts.
