Certified Incident Handler (ECIH) — Question 17

Kayden successfully cracked the final round of interview at an organization. After few days, he received his offer letter through an official company email address. The email stated that the selected candidate should respond within a specified time. Kayden accepted the opportunity and provided e-signature on the offer letter, then replied to the same email address. The company validated the e-signature and added his details to their database. Here, Kayden could not deny company's message, and company could not deny Kayden's signature.
Which of the following information security elements was described in the above scenario?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Non-repudiation, because both parties cannot deny the actions they took—Kayden cannot deny accepting the offer, and the company cannot deny receiving his e-signature. Option A, Availability, relates to ensuring that information is accessible when needed, which is not the focus here. Option C, Integrity, refers to the accuracy of information, while Option D, Confidentiality, concerns keeping information secret, neither of which are pertinent to the scenario.
