I'll Take CASB for $500 Alex. "This verb is the process of getting keys sent to the CASB for storage" "What is Distribution?" " That is correct. (CASB is a key escrow provider but sending it there is distributing a key) Source: Verifying each answer against Chat GPT, my experience, other test banks, a written book, and weighing in the discussion from all users to create a 100% accurate guide for myself before I take the exam.

CASBs do not perform key escrow. Yes, third-party entities do, and yes, that phrase was in the question. The answer is still B. CASB will you the key shared via key distribution to perform all sorts of tasks such as policy enforcement. It uses the keys to scan traffic and look for anomalies in patterns. Third-party entities would use keys distributed to them for things like secure data backups and recovery, secure file sharing, compliance auditing, etc... Just CompTIA using buzz words trying to throw everyone off their game.

A "Key Escrow" is used in cases where a third-party needs access to encrypted data, as defined by law (so if you get a court order to decrypt data)Key distribution is, well, the process of distributing (cryptographic) keys to different parties. Usually this involves mechanisms which are considered "out-of-band", i.e. mechanisms that don't use the later communication channel for the transport of keys. Alternatively key distribution can be done by relying the distribution of new keys upon the safe distribution of old keys

Key Distribution: Involves the delivery of encryption keys to the intended recipients or entities. Key distribution ensures that the entities involved in secure communication have access to the appropriate keys to encrypt and decrypt the data. Key Recovery: Refers to the process of regaining access to encrypted data when a user forgets their password or loses access to their key. Key Escrow: Involves the storage of encryption keys by a trusted third party. This third party can release the keys under specific conditions, such as legal requirements.

louiedgr8Option: A

CHATGPT If the question is specifically asking about the delivery of encryption keys to a CASB or third-party entity, then the correct answer would be A) Key sharing or B) Key distribution. Key sharing refers to the process of securely distributing cryptographic keys to multiple parties who need access to them, while key distribution is the process of securely delivering cryptographic keys to their intended recipients. Key escrow, on the other hand, involves the storage of encryption keys with a third-party entity, but it is typically used for backup and recovery purposes rather than for the immediate distribution of keys.
