A. Page 318 of the Security Study guide, "FortiGate compares the fresh hash result to the original hash result", compare as verify B. Hash function/algorithm is irreversible, so it's not used to deduce the input data C. Hashing is for comparison, not for encryption or security D. Again, hashing is for comparison, not for encryption or security, it can be cracked with table lookup brute force So the answer is A.

I think it is A because the encrypted output value is not the hash result. The encrypted output value is the digital signature.

question says: as it relates to digital certificates Page 318 of the Security Study guide says: "The Hash result is refered to as the original hash result. CA encrypts the original hash with private key. The encrypted result is the digital certificate. So I think answer is D (An encrypted output value)

I think it's A, but the answer is poorly worded. Page 318 of the Security study guide pdf, or slide#7 of Certificate Operations.
