Explanation

Data signing (A) uses cryptographic techniques-specifically hashing combined with asymmetric keys-to produce a verifiable signature. Any tampering with the data invalidates the signature, directly upholding cryptographic integrity. RBAC (F) enforces who is authorized to read, write, or modify database records; by restricting write access to only authorized roles, it prevents unauthorized alterations and therefore maintains data integrity. Encryption (B) protects confidentiality but not integrity by itself. Perfect forward secrecy (C) is a key-exchange property for session privacy. Steganography (D) hides data covertly. Data vaulting (E) is a backup/storage strategy. Lock and key (G) is a physical security control. None of B, C, D, E, or G directly provides cryptographic integrity assurance for a database.
