Solution

Asymmetric cryptography systems provide:

  1. Authenticity: This is because the public key associated with the user or system can be used to verify that a given message must have come from them, assuming the private key has not been compromised.

  2. Confidentiality: This is provided because a message that is encrypted with the recipient's public key can only be decrypted with the associated private key. This means that even if the message is intercepted, it cannot be read without the private key.

  3. Non-repudiation: This is provided because a message that is signed with a user's private key can be verified by anyone with access to the public key, proving that the user must have been the one to sign it.

Asymmetric cryptography does not inherently provide Availability. Availability, in the context of information security, refers to the system or data being accessible when needed, which is not a function of cryptography.
