What two conditions must a digital signature meet?
Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer
Digital signatures are designed to provide two key guarantees:
Authenticity - confirming the identity of the sender.
Unforgeability - ensuring that no one else can produce the same signature without the sender's private key.
These properties are achieved using a combination of hash functions and asymmetric encryption (digital certificates/private keys).
