A customer purchases an item from an e-commerce site. The e-commerce site must maintain proof that the data exchange took place between the site and the customer. Which feature of digital signatures is required?

• nonrepudiation of the transaction
• integrity of digitally signed data
• authenticity of digitally signed data
• confidentiality of the public key

Explanation: Digital signatures provide three basic security services:
Authenticity of digitally signed data - Digital signatures authenticate a source, proving that a certain party has seen and signed the data in question.
Integrity of digitally signed data - Digital signatures guarantee that the data has not changed from the time it was signed.
Nonrepudiation of the transaction - The recipient can take the data to a third party, and the third party accepts the digital signature as a proof that this data exchange did take place. The signing party cannot repudiate that it has signed the data.
