HOTSPOT - For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Hot Area:
Suggested Answer:
Box 1: Yes - A certificate is required that provides a private and a public key.
Box 2: Yes - The public key is used to validate the private key that is associated with a digital signature.
Box 3: Yes - The private key, or rather the password to the private key, validates the identity of the signer. Reference: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/obtain-a-digital-certificate-and-create-a-digital-signature-e3d9d813-3305-4164-a820-2e063d86e512 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/fin-ops-core/fin-ops/organization-administration/electronic-signature-overview
Shouldn't it be Y,Y,N ? As the private key is only used (and owned) by the signer to sign the document, and the associated public key is used to verify the authenticity.
Question, I agree Y Y N - but where does exam topics pull the answers from, PearsonVUE? Does Pearson VUE have the correct answers? I am just curious. I take the exam in 4 hours.
Yes. Digitally signing a document involves using the signer’s private key to create the digital signature.
Yes. The public key of the signer is used to verify the digital signature and ensure the document’s authenticity.
No. The private key is used for signing, not for verifying the signature. Verification uses the public key.
For signature you use assymetric encryption.( https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/describe-security-concepts-methodologies/5-describe-encryption-hashing )
The sender's private key encrypts the data -- this is the digital signature -- and the receiver uses the public key to decrypt it and verify it matches the attachment. The public key and private key in digital signatures are mathematically related but cannot be generated from each other. ( https://www.techtarget.com/searchsecurity/answer/Which-private-keys-and-public-keys-can-create-a-digital-signature#:~:text=The%20sender's%20private%20key%20encrypts,be%20generated%20from%20each%20other. )
So with this information the anwsers will be:
Q1 Yes, private key is used for digital signature.
Q2 Yes, authenticity for the signature requires a public key
Q3 No, this is for encypting the data.
I know and understand why for the exam the answer is YYN, but for discussion sake can't you theoretically sign something with someone's public key so that only the intended recipient can read it? So rather than authenticity you are focusing on confidentiality.
