Question 4 of 93
You have a 2GB Base64 binary large object (blob) that needs to be encrypted. Which of the following best describes the transit secrets engine?
Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is A.

A data key encrypts the blob locally, and the same key decrypts the blob locally. The transit secrets engine in Vault is designed specifically for encrypting and decrypting data without storing the data. It provides encryption-as-a-service, which means it offloads the encryption workloads but does not temporarily or permanently store the data. Therefore, option A correctly describes the operation of the transit engine for encrypting and decrypting the blob locally using a data key.

Question 5 of 93
How would you describe the value of using the Vault transit secrets engine?
Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is D.

The transit secrets engine in Vault provides encryption and decryption as a service, which means that application developers do not need to implement encryption themselves. Instead, they can offload this task to the operators of Vault who manage the encryption keys. This simplifies the process for developers and ensures that encryption is handled correctly and securely by a centralized service.
