A client approached Paxton Uffe and said, "Paxton, I need for my customers to make payments online using credit cards, but I want to make sure that the credit card data isn't intercepted. What do you suggest?" Paxton responded, "The most effective solution is to implement:.a) an encryption system with digital signatures"b) a virtual private network"c) a private cloud environment"d) a data masking program"

a.)an encryption system with digital signatures

Explanation:

Encryption is a method that use an algorithm to encode files or data so that the reading of the file can only be done by certain set of people.

It involves the process of changing information so that it becomes unreadable by those that you don't want to get access to the information but those that has the key can get access to it.

Encryption is crucial in critical condition where security is needed so that data that you don't want someone else to get access to can be protected. Especially protection of personal information from identify theft.It is also used by government and agencies.

important because it allows you to securely protect data that you don't want anyone else to have access to. Businesses use it to protect corporate secrets, governments use it to secure classified information, and many individuals use it to protect personal information to guard against things like identity theft. And authentication is made possible by means of password or pin.

There are benefits that could be described from Digital signature, most especially in terms of security service by making sure security is legal and there is no alterations bin the credit card data. Other benefits includes;

1.)Allows the Stamping of Time:, this give room for the system to account for the signature time and date especially for online payment stock trades.

2.) Authentication is allowed by the the use of passwords, pins or codes inorder to get the identity or the signature of the user verified.

3.)Allows for Asymmetric cryptography:

Therefore for the client's customers to make payments online using credit cards, without the credit card data been intercepted ,the most effective solution that PAXTON will suggest to

be implemented is an encryption system with digital signatures because the data of the customer need to be protected and also personal information to be protected from identify theft

Answer is A) an encryption system with digital signatures.

Refer below.

Explanation:

To make a digital signature, signing programming -, for example, an email program - makes a single direction hash of the electronic information to be signed. The private key is then used to encrypt the hash. The scrambled hash - alongside other data, for example, the hashing calculation - is the digital signature.

d. all of the above are true.
