A is right, encryption isn't part of DSS. Had something like this in a mock exam, same answer.
A
Its A. Official guide and some practice sets both flag DSS as not handling encryption, just signatures and integrity stuff.
I don’t think it’s B. A is correct here.
Official guide and those end-of-chapter practice exams both call out that DSS doesn’t provide encryption, only signature, integrity, and authentication. If you’re reviewing, focus on which NIST/FIPS standards pair which features with each crypto tool. Pretty sure A is what they want here but chime in if you've seen different in the official book.
I don't think it's D. A is correct here. DSS doesn't actually do encryption, just handles signatures for integrity and authentication. I remember a similar question came up in my practice set. Let me know if anyone picked something else, but pretty sure it's A.
No way it's D, DSS doesn't do encryption. That's usually the trap in these kinds of questions. A for sure.
Why do some folks pick D? DSS specifically doesn't handle encryption, that's more of a trap answer here.
Had something like this in a mock, pretty sure it's A.
Guessing A. DSS doesn't actually encrypt, it just signs and verifies. Integrity and authentication are both part of what digital signatures offer, but encryption's out. I could be off if they're splitting terms, but think it's right.
Be respectful. No spam.
