Which of the following algorithms can be used to guarantee the integrity of messages being sent,
in transit, or stored? (Choose the best answer)

A.
symmetric algorithms

B.
asymmetric algorithms

C.
hashing algorithms

D.
integrity algorithms

Explanation:
In cryptography,a cryptographic hash function is a hash function with certain
additional security properties to make it suitable for use as a primitive in various information
security applications,such as authentication and message integrity. A hash function takes a long
string (or ‘message’) of any length as input and produces a fixed length string as output,sometimes

termed a message digest or a digital fingerprint.
