Actual exam question for ECCouncil's 312-50v13 exam
Question #: 337
Topic #: 1
What is the main security service a cryptographic hash provides?

Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:
Cryptographic hash functions provide:
* Integrity: Any change in the input changes the output hash.
* Collision Resistance: It is computationally infeasible to find two inputs that produce the same hash.
This ensures data is not altered during transmission.
From CEH v13 Courseware:
* Module 10: Cryptography # Hashing Functions (e.g., SHA-256, MD5)
Reference:NIST SP 800-107 - "Cryptographic hash functions provide integrity by detecting changes in data via collision-resistant functions."
