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?

User 2: That makes sense. By signing the message digest, Dr. Alice can verify that the prescription has not been altered.
