ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) Practice Question
Which mechanism primarily verifies that data has not been altered during storage or transmission, thereby supporting the integrity principle of information assurance?
Hashing algorithms transform data into a fixed-length value (hash or message digest). Any change to the original data produces a different hash, allowing recipients or systems to detect unauthorized modification and thus preserve integrity. Encryption focuses on keeping data confidential, redundancy supports availability by providing alternate resources, and multi-factor authentication confirms identity rather than data accuracy.
