Which of the following issues is not addressed by digital signatures?
A.
nonrepudiation
B.
authentication
C.
data integrity
D.
denial-of-service
The Answer Is:
D
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
A digital signature directly addresses both confidentiality and integrity of the CIA triad. It does not directly address availability, which is what denial-of-service attacks.
The other answers are not correct because:
"nonrepudiation" is not correct because a digital signature can provide for nonrepudiation.
"authentication" is not correct because a digital signature can be used as an authentication mechanism
"data integrity" is not correct because a digital signature does verify data integrity (as part of nonrepudiation)
