Non-Repudiation
- Focused on providing undeniable proof in the world of digital transactions
- Security measure that ensures individuals or entities involved in a communication or transaction cannot deny their participation or the authenticity of their actions
Digital Signatures
- Considered to be unique to each user who is operating within the digital domain
- Created by first hashing a particular message or communication that you want to digitally sign, and then it encrypts that hash digest with the user’s private key using asymmetric encryption
Non-repudiation is important for three main reasons:
- To confirm the authenticity of digital transactions
- To ensure the integrity of critical communications
- To provide accountability in digital processes
