Question 103

Leveraging cryptographic solutions to protect data that is in use ensures the data is encrypted:

    Correct Answer: B

    Leveraging cryptographic solutions to protect data that is in use ensures the data is encrypted in memory during processing. Data in use refers to data that is actively being processed by an application or system, which typically occurs in the memory (RAM). Encrypting data in memory while it is being processed ensures its protection against potential threats that can arise during active use.

Discussion
beanbagOption: B

"in use" = processed in the memory "at rest" = stored in drives etc "in transit" = as data moves across media

RevZig67Option: B

Key words are "in use". Answer should be memory.

EmmasaOption: B

Data in use is data that is currently being updated, processed, erased, accessed or read by a system. This type of data is not being passively stored, but is instead actively moving through parts of an IT infrastructure. https://www.techtarget.com/whatis/definition/data-in-use

23169fdOption: B

This option correctly identifies the context of "data in use" and how cryptographic solutions can be applied to protect it during active processing

BiteSizeOption: B

Data in use is always in volatile memory, whether that is VRAM on the file system or within the RAM.

bigerblue2002Option: A

If the data is being passed across a local network, would that not mean that it is "in use". It wouldn't pass if it were not being accessed. I could be wrong, but that is my thinking.

bigerblue2002

I stand corrected, A would be data "in motion". Looks like B.
