Arcitura Education S90.18 Exam - Topic 1 Question 87 Discussion

Actual exam question for Arcitura Education's S90.18 exam

Question #: 87
Topic #: 1

Service A is owned by Organization A . Service A sends a message containing confidential data to Service B, which is owned by Organization B . Service B sends the message to Service C, which is also owned by Organization B . Organization A trusts Organization B, which means there is no requirement to protect messages from intermediaries and after a message is received by Service B (and as long as the message remains within the boundary of Organization B), there is no requirement to keep the message data confidential. Which of the following approaches will fulfill these security requirements with the least amount of performance degradation?

AMessages exchanged between Service A and Service B are encrypted using XML-Encryption.

BThe communication channel between Service A and Service B is encrypted using a transport-layer security technology.

CSAML security tokens are used so that Service B can authenticate Service A.

DAn authentication broker is introduced between Service A and Service B.

SAML tokens are cool, but might add overhead.

Wait, why would they trust Organization B so easily?

Introducing an authentication broker sounds like it could complicate things, but I can't recall if it would actually help with performance.

SAML tokens seem more about authentication than confidentiality, so I'm not sure if that would meet the requirements here.

I think using transport-layer security for the communication channel is a common practice and might be the best option for performance.

I remember that encrypting messages with XML-Encryption might add some overhead, but it could be necessary for confidentiality.

This is a tricky one. I'm not sure if the SAML tokens or authentication broker are really necessary given the trust relationship. I'll need to carefully weigh the pros and cons of each approach.

I'm leaning towards option A since it provides message-level encryption, which seems more secure than just encrypting the transport channel. But I'll need to double-check the performance implications.

Okay, I think I've got it. The key is that there's no need to protect the message once it's within Organization B, so I'd go with option B to minimize performance impact.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by the trust relationship between the organizations. I'll need to make sure I understand that part before deciding on the best solution.

Okay, I think I've got it. Since the latitude of origin is becoming less negative, the map will shift upwards, so the data will move north.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Option C with SAML tokens might be a bit overkill, but it could provide more robust authentication. Tough call, but I'd probably still go with Option B.

Option B seems like the best choice here. Encrypting the communication channel at the transport layer is a lightweight and efficient way to meet the security requirements without the overhead of XML encryption or SAML tokens.
