I’m confused about the digital certificate option. I thought that was more about identity verification rather than signing the message itself.

I feel like the message digest is the way to go. We did a similar question where we had to identify what gets signed for authenticity.

I’m not entirely sure, but I remember something about signing the original message directly. That seems like it could be an option too.

I think Dr. Alice needs to sign the message digest, right? It’s like what we practiced in class about ensuring integrity.

The activity explorer might give some useful insights, but I don't think that's the right tool for identifying specific document types like resumes. I'd go with the pre-trained classifiers.

Okay, I've got this. A forecasting method that responds slowly would be best for a demand pattern with a major seasonal component, since it needs to smooth out those regular fluctuations.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The options seem to cover a range of potential issues, so I'll need to think it through carefully before selecting an answer.

I bet Dr. Alice is regretting not taking that 'Practical Cryptography for Doctors' elective in med school right about now.

E is just plain wrong. Using the recipient's (Bob's) public key to sign the message would make no sense at all. This is a digital signature, not a grocery list for Bob.

D is just silly. Kerberos tickets are for authentication, not signing documents. This exam is testing our crypto knowledge, not our fantasy fiction writing skills.

Option C seems more logical, as she should sign the original message (prescription) itself, not the digest. That's how digital signatures work, right?
