CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-003) — Question 207

Executives at an organization email sensitive financial information to external business partners when negotiating valuable contracts. To ensure the legal validity of these messages, the cybersecurity team recommends a digital signature be added to emails sent by the executives. Which of the following are the primary goals of this recommendation? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Confidentiality
• B. Integrity
• C. Privacy
• D. Anonymity
• E. Non-reduplication
• F. Authorization

Correct answer: B, E

Explanation

The primary goals of adding a digital signature are integrity and non-reduplication. Integrity ensures that the message has not been altered in transit, while non-reduplication confirms that the sender cannot deny sending the message. The other options, such as confidentiality and privacy, are related but not the main focus of using a digital signature.
