Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
In Information Security, Non-repudiation ensures that a party cannot deny the authenticity of their signature on a document or a message that they originated. This matches (R) Protection against denial by one of the entities involved in a communication having participated in all or part of communication. Data Integrity ensures that data has not been altered during transmission, matching (S) Assurance that data arrived are exactly as sent by authorised entity. Data Confidentiality protects information from unauthorized access or disclosure, aligning with (P) Protection of data from unauthorised disclosure. Access Control restricts access to resources, matching (Q) Prevention of unauthorised use of a resource. Therefore, the correct matching is (i)-(R), (ii)-(S), (iii)-(P), and (iv)-(Q).
