Authenticity and integrity

posted on July 19, 2017

Authenticity

Proof to be the originator of the data (holder of the keys).

If the original file can be restored from the encrypted data, then this is proof of authenticity of the file content.

Integrity

If we can restore a file with our keys, then the integrity of the file is assumed and we are assured that the content is correct.
