Answer: C
The calculation of a hash or digest of the data that is
transmitted and its encryption requires the public key of
the client (receiver) and is called a signature of the
message or digital signature. The receiver performs the same
process and then compares the received hash once it has been
decrypted with his/her private key, with the hash that
he/she calculates with the received data. If they are the
same, the conclusion would be that there is integrity in the
data that has arrived and the origin is authenticated.
