Which of the following is a U.S. federal government algorithm developed for creating secure message digests?
A.
Data Encryption Algorithm
B.
Digital Signature Standard
C.
Secure Hash Algorithm
D.
Data Signature Algorithm
Explanation:
C: SHA was created to generate secure message digests. Digital Signature Standard (DSS) is the standard to create digital signatures, which dictates that SHA must be used. DSS also outlines the digital signature algorithms that can be used with SHA: RSA, DSA, and ECDSA.
