Consider the following statements regarding statutory cybersecurity agencies and digital authentication frameworks in India:

1. The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) is designated under Section 70B of the Information Technology Act, 2000 as the national nodal agency for computer security incident response.
2. Under the Information Technology Act, 2000, an Electronic Signature is strictly restricted to asymmetric cryptosystems and hash functions, whereas a Digital Signature is a broader, technology-neutral legal concept.
3. The Cyber Swachhta Kendra (Botnet Cleaning and Malware Analysis Centre) is operated by CERT-In to assist in detecting botnet infections and providing remediation tools to citizens.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Cevap

1 and 3 only
The statement identifying CERT-In's mandate under Section 70B of the IT Act, 2000 is accurate. Furthermore, Cyber Swachhta Kendra is indeed operated by CERT-In to sanitize infected systems. However, the legal definition of Electronic Signature is technology-neutral, while Digital Signature specifically uses asymmetric cryptography, making the second statement incorrect.
