CISA Certified Information Systems Auditor – Question1589

Which of the following ensures confidentiality of information sent over the internet?

A.
Digital signature
B. Digital certificate
C. Online Certificate Status Protocol
D. Private key cryptosystem

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

Explanation:
Confidentiality is assured by a private key cryptosystem. Digital signatures assure data integrity, authentication and nonrepudiation, but not confidentially. A digital certificate is a certificate that uses a digital signature to bind together a public key with an identity; therefore, it does not address confidentiality. Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) is an Internet protocol used for obtaining the revocation status of a digital certificate.
