Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reverse of the asymmetric encryption process yields digital signatures. Asymmetric encryption involves a public and private key pair, where the public key is used to encrypt data and the private key is used to decrypt it. Digital signatures are a way of verifying the authenticity and integrity of digital information by using the sender’s private key to generate a unique signature that can be verified by anyone with the corresponding public key. This is the reverse process of encryption, so the answer is A.
