Which of the following ensures that a specific author actually did create and send a specific item to a specific recipient, and that it was successfully received?

Authentication
Non-Repudiation
Record
Service Level Agreement (SLA)

The correct answer is: Non-Repudiation

Non-repudiation ensures that a specific author cannot deny having created and sent a specific item to a recipient, and that the recipient cannot deny having received it. This is achieved by providing evidence such as digital signatures or timestamps that can prove authorship and delivery of the item. Authentication, on the other hand, validates the identity of a user or system, ensuring that the entity accessing information or resources is who they claim to be. Records are used to keep track of activities and events, while a Service Level Agreement (SLA) is a contract between a service provider and a customer specifying the level of service expected.
