[All HashiCorp Certified: Vault Associate (002) Questions]

A user issues the following cURL command to encrypt data using the transit engine and the Vault AP:

Which payload.json file has the correct contents?

A.

B.

C.

D.

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The payload.json file that has the correct contents is C. This file contains a JSON object with a single key, ''plaintext'', and a value that is the base64-encoded string of the data to be encrypted.This is the format that the Vault API expects for the transit encrypt endpoint1. The other files are not correct because they either have the wrong key name, the wrong value format, or the wrong JSON syntax.

Ah, good catch, Douglass. Option B does seem to be the correct answer. The 'plaintext' field is where we need to provide the data to be encrypted.

Hmm, let me take a closer look at the options. Option A looks like it's trying to create a new key, which isn't what the question is asking for. Option B seems to be the right format, with the 'plaintext' field containing the data to be encrypted.

Agreed. The cURL command is clearly encrypting data using the transit engine, so the payload file needs to have the correct format for that operation.

This question seems straightforward, but the devil's in the details. We need to carefully examine the cURL command and the payload options to determine the correct answer.
