Answer: A

PKI is the administrative infrastructure for digital
certificates and encryption key-pairs. The tests of an
acceptable digital signature are: it is unique to the person
using it, it is capable of verification, it is under the
sole control of the person using it and it is linked to data
in such a manner that if data are changed, the digital
signature is invalidated. PKI meets these tests. The data
encryption standard (DES) is the most common private-key
cryptographic system. DES does not address non-repudiation.
A MAC is a cryptographic value calculated by passing an
entire message through a cipher system. The sender attaches
the MAC before transmission and the receiver recalculates
the MAC and compares it to the sent MAC. If the two MACs are
not equal, this indicates that the message has been altered
during transmission. It has nothing to do with
non-repudiation. A PIN is a type of password, a secret
number assigned to an individual which, in conjunction with
some other means of identification serves to verify the
authenticity of the individual.
