Which of the following is a potential problem when creating a message digest for forensic purposes?
A.
The process is very slow.
Contains system level access control kernel.
B.
The file’s last access time is changed.
Can contain a hidden file or data.
C.
The message digest is almost as long as the data string.
“To generate a digital signature, the digital signal program passes the file to be sent through a
one-way hash function. This hash function produces a fixed size output from a variable size input.”
Pg. 208 Krutz: The CISSP Prep Guide: Gold Edition.
QUESTION 1105
A forensic examination should inspect slack space because it
Can contain vital system information.
D.
One-way hashing technology invalidates message digest processing.
Can be defeted to avoid detection.
E.
a file could be changed during the process
C.
The message digest is almost as long as the data string.

Explanation:
Not D: does not make much sense. The purpose of the one-way hash it to create a message digest.
Not
