Consider that B wants to send a message m that is digitally signed to A. Let the pair of private and public keys for A and B be denoted by \(K_{x}^{-}\) and \(K_{x}^{+}\) for x = A, B, respectively. Let Kx(m) represent the operation of encrypting m with a key Kx and H(m) represent the message digest. Which one of the following indicates the CORRECT way of sending the message m along with the digital signature to A?

A. \(\left\{ m,~K_{B}^{+}~\left( H\left( m \right) \right) \right\}\)
B. \(\left\{ m,~K_{B}^{-}\left( H\left( m \right) \right) \right\}\)
C. \(\left\{ m,~K_{A}^{-}\left( H\left( m \right) \right) \right\}\)
D. \(\left\{ m,~K_{A}^{+}\left( m \right) \right\}\)
Answer» C. \(\left\{ m,~K_{A}^{-}\left( H\left( m \right) \right) \right\}\)
