The Vault encryption key is stored in Vault's backend storage.

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The Vault's auth method component is the component that performs authentication and assigns identity and policies to a client. It verifies a client against an internal or external system, and generates a token with the appropriate policies attached. The token can then be used to access the secrets and resources that are authorized by the policies. Vault supports various auth methods, such as userpass, ldap, aws, kubernetes, etc., that can integrate with different identity providers and systems. The auth method component can also handle token renewal and revocation, as well as identity grouping and aliasing.Reference:Auth Methods | Vault | HashiCorp Developer,Authentication - Concepts | Vault | HashiCorp Developer

Seriously, if the encryption key is stored in the backend, that's like putting a neon sign over the vault saying 'Hack me!'

Oof, if the answer is True, then Vault's developers need to go back to the drawing board. That's a big no-no in the world of cryptography.

Definitely, it's a basic principle in cryptography to keep the encryption key secure and separate from the data.

I'm going with False on this one. It's basic security 101 to keep the encryption keys separate from the data being encrypted.

Well, I certainly hope the answer is False. Storing the encryption key in the backend would be a major security faux pas.
