Explanation
Non-repudiation, in the context of digital signatures, refers to the ability to provide proof that a particular sender sent a specific message (see ISC2 Study Guide, Module 1, under Non- repudiation). Ensuring that unauthorized parties cannot read a message is a measure used to protect the confidentiality aspect of the CIA Triad. Guaranteeing that a message has not been tampered with during transmission is a measure used to protect integrity. Verifying the identity of a user attempting to access a system is a measure used to protect the authentication aspect.
