| Hi all, COULD ANYONE ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS, I'm taking the inet+ exam soon :>>
1) When sending a message/email attached with a digital signature, does the signature verify the sender's identity or does it verify that no changes were made to the message during transmission?
2) Also, what is the difference between a dig. certificate and dig. signature ? (Different books have different meanings)
What is the correct answer ? | |

| 1) verifys senders ID
2) digit certiciates includes digit signatures. | |
|
| digital signatures verify that the item(document,attachement or whatever you send by email) was not tampered with and when the recipient recieves it it will be in the exaact same way that it was sent!THATS THE PURPOSE OF DIGITAL SIGNATURES!
