Which of the following security services cannot be achieved using the Hash functions?ORWhich of the following is not possible through hash value?

A. Password Check

B. Data Integrity check

C. Digital Signatures

D. Data retrieval in its original form

Correct Answer :

D. Data retrieval in its original form


As the hash functions are irreversible and has pre-image resistance property, therefore it is almost impossible to obtain the original data form its hash value. Therefore, it is not possible to retrieve data in its original form from its hash value.
