Digital signatures are primarily used to verify the identity of the sender of a message and to ensure that the message has not been tampered with during transmission.
Look at CISA Review Manual 27th Edition page 613 question 5-8
Which of the following concerns about the security of an electronic message would be addressed by digital signatures?
A. Unauthorized reading
B. Theft
C. Unauthorized copying
D. Alteration
ANSWER: D “A digital signature includes an encrypted hash total of the size of the message as it was transmitted by its originator. This hash would no longer be accurate if the message was altered subsequently, indicating that the alternation had occurred.” Page 616
The question in the Ref Manual is only about the change. In the question posed here, however, the identity of the *receiver* is also listed under C. If so, the originator/sender should be listed here, then the option would be ok, but not the receiver. This leaves A. as the only valid one.
All three chatbots ChatGPT, MS-Copilot and Google-Gemini also output A. as the answer.
digital signature is primarily used to verify the integrity of the data and the identity of the sender. A digital signature provides a secure means of verifying that the data has not been tampered with or altered in transit and confirms the identity of the sender of the data.
Answer should be A because DS verifies the sender not the receipient
