CollectorBabu · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: 3 only. With reference to digital signature, statement 2 and 3 are correct. A digital signature is a mathematical technique not an electronic record used to validate the authenticity and integrity of a message, software or digital document. Hence, statement 1 is incorrect. As the digital equivalent of a handwritten signature or stamped seal, a digital signature offers far more inherent security, and it is intended to solve the problem of tampering and impersonation in digital communications.
