Question

Which best compares and contrasts using a password and using a digital signature? Both methods protect the security of the presentation, but a digital signature has a private aspect and a public aspect. Both methods protect the security of the presentation, but a password allows only the author to view the presentation. Both methods are required to finish a document, but the methods for obtaining a digital signature can vary. Both methods are required to finish a document, but the password method more commonly results in lost documents.

Answer 1

The correct answer is A) Both methods protect the security of the presentation, but a digital signature has a private and a public aspect. This answer compares both methods but as well provides the main difference between the two of them.

An electronic signature could be any symbol, image or process attached to the document that represents the signer's identity while the password often ends up being forgotten by the signer and most of the time there's no way to recover it.

Hope this helps!
