Explanation:

A digital signature is similar in function to a standard signature on a document. It validates the
integrity of the message and the sender. The message is encrypted using the encryption system,
and a second piece of information, the digital signature, is added to the message.
Nonrepudiation prevents one party from denying actions that they carried out and in the electronic
world nonrepudiation measures can be a two-key cryptographic system and the involvement of a
third party to verify the validity. This respected third party ‘vouches’ for the individuals in the twokey system. Thus non-repudiation also impacts on integrity.
