Answer / guest
Answer: C
A digital signature through the private cryptographic key
authenticates a transmission from a sender through the
private cryptographic key. It is a string of bits that
uniquely represent another string of bits, a digital
document. An electronic signature refers to the string of
bits that digitally represents a handwritten signature
captured by a computer system when a human applies it on an
electronic pen pad, connected to the system.
