ISC2 CCSP Exam - Topic 1 Question 116 Discussion

Posted by Bonita on May 04, 2026 at 10:44 PM

Which of the following concepts is NOT one of the core components to an encryption system architecture?

Suggested Answer: B

The network utilized is not one of the key components of an encryption system architecture. In fact, a network is not even required for encryption systems or the processing and protection of data. The data, software used for the encryption engine itself, and the keys used to implement the encryption are all core components of an encryption system architecture.
