Explanation
Digital signatures offer the security benefits of data integrity and non-repudiation (see ISC2 Study Guide, Module 1, under Non- repudiation). Indeed, a digital signature can be uniquely linked to a specific sender, offering an undeniable (non-repudiable) proof of the sender's identity and of the fact that the message originated from them. Moreover, when a digital signature is used, any changes made to the data after it has been signed will invalidate the signature, providing a method to check whether the data has been tampered with.
