Selected Answer: A
o Code Signing: This process involves digitally signing the software with a cryptographic key. When users install the software, the digital signature can be verified to ensure that the software has not been tampered with and is indeed from the legitimate source. This provides assurance of the software's authenticity and integrity.

o Non-repudiation (Option B): This ensures that a party cannot deny the authenticity of their signature on a document or a message, but it doesn't specifically address software legitimacy. o Key Escrow (Option C): This involves storing cryptographic keys with a third party, which is useful for key recovery but not for verifying software legitimacy. o Private Keys (Option D): These are used in cryptographic processes, including code signing, but on their own, they don't provide a mechanism for users to verify software legitimacy
