Answer / guest
Answer: A
A digital signature is a cryptographic method that ensures
data integrity, authentication of the message, and
non-repudiation. To ensure these, the sender first creates a
message digest by applying a cryptographic hashing algorithm
against the entire message and thereafter enciphers the
message digest using the sender's private key. A message
digest is created by applying a cryptographic hashing
algorithm against the entire message not on any arbitrary
part of the message. After creating the message digest, only
the message digest is enciphered using the sender's private
key, not the message.
