Topic #: 2
[All CS0-003 Questions]

Executives at an organization email sensitive financial information to external business partners when negotiating valuable contracts. To ensure the legal validity of these messages, the cybersecurity team recommends a digital signature be added to emails sent by the executives. Which of the following are the primary goals of this recommendation? (Select two).

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B, E

Digital signatures ensure the integrity and non-repudiation of emails. Integrity ensures that the message has not been altered in transit, as the digital signature would be invalidated if the content were tampered with. Non-repudiation ensures that the sender cannot deny having sent the email, as the digital signature is unique to their identity. These principles are crucial for legal validity, as recommended by CompTIA Security+ standards. Confidentiality (A) and privacy (C) relate to encryption, while authorization (F) and anonymity (D) are unrelated to the primary purpose of digital signatures in this context.

I believe Authorization is necessary to control who has access to the emails, in addition to Integrity and Non-repudiation.

Ooh, digital signatures, fancy! I bet the execs wish they could just use emojis instead, am I right? But seriously, Integrity and Non-repudiation are the way to go. Gotta keep those contracts air-tight.

Hmm, I'm not sure about Privacy and Anonymity. Those don't seem relevant here. I'd go with Integrity and Non-repudiation - gotta make sure that sensitive financial info stays legit, you know?

Clearly, the goals are Integrity and Non-repudiation. The digital signature ensures the message hasn't been tampered with and the sender can't deny sending it. Easy peasy!
