HashiCorp Exam Vault-Associate Topic 1 Question 31 Discussion

Actual exam question for HashiCorp's Vault-Associate exam
Question #: 31
Topic #: 1
[All Vault-Associate Questions]

You are using Vault's Transit secrets engine to encrypt your dat

a. You want to reduce the amount of content encrypted with a single key in case the key gets compromised. How would you do this?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Running the second command in the GUI CLI will fail. The second command is vault kv put secret/creds passcode=my-long-passcode. This command attempts to write a secret named creds with the value passcode=my-long-passcode to the secret path, which is the default path for the kv secrets engine. However, the kv secrets engine is not enabled at the secret path, as shown by the first command vault secrets list, which lists the enabled secrets engines and their paths. The only enabled secrets engine is the transit secrets engine at the transit path. Therefore, the second command will fail with an error message saying that no secrets engine is mounted at the path secret/. To make the second command succeed, the kv secrets engine must be enabled at the secret path or another path, using the vault secrets enable command. For example, vault secrets enable -path=secret kv would enable the kv secrets engine at the secret path.Reference:kv - Command | Vault | HashiCorp Developer,vault secrets enable - Command | Vault | HashiCorp Developer

Rotating the keys? That's like changing the locks on your house Alysary week. But hey, if it keeps the data safe, I'm all for it!

Rotating the keys? Sounds like a lot of work. Maybe I'll just lock the server in a lead-lined box instead. Problem solved!

Rotating the encryption key is definitely the way to go. I don't want to end up like the guy who lost the key to his bitcoin wallet, you know?

Hmm, I'm tempted to go with the HSM integration, but that might be overkill for my use case. Decisions, decisions.

Rotating the encryption key seems like the obvious choice here. Gotta keep that data secure, you know?

I believe upgrading to Vault Enterprise and integrating with HSM could provide better security for our data.

I agree with Maurine. Using a 4096-bit RSA key might be too complex for our needs.

I think we should periodically rotate the encryption key to reduce the amount of content encrypted with a single key.
