Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A digital signature is created by encrypting a message with the sender's private key. This allows the recipient to verify the sender's authenticity by decrypting the signature with the sender's public key. Asymmetric encryption (A) and a public key (D) are related to the creation of the digital signature, but are not the correct choices as they do not specifically refer to the authentication of the sender. A digital certificate (B) is a separate entity used to verify the identity of the recipient, not the sender.
