Questions and Answers

What additional security features does a digital signature provide apart from non-repudiation?

  • Message authentication and data integrity (correct)
  • Authorization and privacy
  • Availability and authenticity
  • Confidentiality and integrity

    • How does the verifier ensure message authenticity when validating a digital signature?

  • By using the sender's public key (correct)
  • By using the receiver's public key
  • By using the receiver's private key
  • By using the sender's private key

    • What happens if an attacker modifies the data before it reaches the receiver in a digital signature scheme?

  • The data integrity is improved
  • The receiver loses the ability to deny the message
  • The receiver can still decrypt the modified data
  • The digital signature verification fails (correct)

    • How does the receiver verify the authenticity of a digital signature in a sign-then-encrypt system?
