Arcitura Education S90.18 Exam - Topic 5 Question 107 Discussion

Actual exam question for Arcitura Education's S90.18 exam
Question #: 107
Topic #: 5
[All S90.18 Questions]

Service A carries out XML canonicalization and creates a message digest. It then encrypts the message digest using asymmetric encryption. Service B. upon receiving the message, decrypts the message hash and calculates the hash of the original message. However, upon comparison, the received message digest and the calculated message digest do not match. How can this problem be avoided?

Definitely B. If they don't match, it's all about the order of operations!

Wait, why would we skip canonicalization? Isn't it important for XML?

I disagree, C is right. Canonicalization just complicates things.

I thought we learned that transforms are important, but I'm not clear on how they apply here. Shouldn't Service B just hash the original message directly?

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like if they both use the same canonicalization process, it should work out.

I think we discussed something similar in class, where the order of operations really matters. Maybe Service B needs to follow the same steps as Service A?

I remember that XML canonicalization can change the structure of the message, which might be why the hashes don't match.

I think the key here is making sure Service B knows the exact sequence of steps used by Service A. Option A seems to be the best solution, as it explicitly states that Service B needs to be provided the sequence of actions.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. Why would XML canonicalization be the issue? Wouldn't that just ensure the message is in a consistent format before hashing and encrypting? I'm not sure I fully understand the problem.

Okay, let me see if I can break this down. It sounds like we need to make sure Service B is performing the same steps as Service A to calculate the message digest. I think option B is the way to go here.

Option C is tempting, but let's not throw the canonicalization baby out with the bathwater. B is the way to go, folks.

B) Transforms need to be used so that Service B is provided the sequence of actions used by Service A. That way, Service B will know that it has to perform XML canonicalization on the original message first, then calculate its hash, and only then compare it against the decrypted message hash
