NEW QUESTION 24
A web application uses Vault’s transit secrets engine to encrypt data in-transit. If an attacker intercepts the data in transit which of the following statements are true? Choose two correct answers.

You can rotate the encryption key so that the attacker won’t be able to decrypt the data

The keys can be rotated and min_decryption_version moved forward to ensure this data cannot be decrypted

The Vault administrator would need to seal the Vault server immediately

Even if the attacker was able to access the raw data, they would only have encrypted bits (TLS in transit)

A web application that uses Vault’s transit secrets engine to encrypt data in-transit can benefit from the following security features:
Even if the attacker was able to access the raw data, they would only have encrypted bits (TLS in transit). This means that the attacker would need to obtain the encryption key from Vault in order to decrypt the data, which is protected by Vault’s authentication and authorization mechanisms. The transit secrets engine does not store the data sent to it, so the attacker cannot access the data from Vault either.
The keys can be rotated and min_decryption_version moved forward to ensure this data cannot be decrypted. This means that the web application can periodically change the encryption key used to encrypt the data, and set a minimum decryption version for the key, which prevents older versions of the key from being used to decrypt the data. This way, even if the attacker somehow obtained an old version of the key, they would not be able to decrypt the data that was encrypted with a newer version of the key.
The other statements are not true, because:
You cannot rotate the encryption key so that the attacker won’t be able to decrypt the data. Rotating the key alone does not prevent the attacker from decrypting the data, as they may still have access to the old version of the key that was used to encrypt the data. You need to also move the min_decryption_version forward to invalidate the old version of the key.
The Vault administrator would not need to seal the Vault server immediately. Sealing the Vault server would make it inaccessible to both the attacker and the legitimate users, and would require unsealing it with the unseal keys or the recovery keys. Sealing the Vault server is a last resort option in case of a severe compromise or emergency, and is not necessary in this scenario, as the attacker does not have access to the encryption key or the data in Vault.

NEW QUESTION 28
As a best practice, the root token should be stored in which of the following ways?

Should be revoked and never stored after initial setup

Should be stored in configuration automation tooling

Should be stored in another password safe

Should be stored in Vault

NEW QUESTION 29
To make an authenticated request via the Vault HTTP API, which header would you use?

The X-Vault-Token HTTP Header

The x-Vault-Request HTTP Header

The Content-Type HTTP Header

The X-Vault-Namespace HTTP Header

NEW QUESTION 30
When unsealing Vault, each Shamir unseal key should be entered:

Sequentially from one system that all of the administrators are in front of

By different administrators each connecting from different computers

While encrypted with each administrators PGP key

At the command line in one single command

NEW QUESTION 31
What are orphan tokens?

Orphan tokens are tokens with a use limit so you can set the number of uses when you create them

Orphan tokens are not children of their parent; therefore, orphan tokens do not expire when their parent does

Orphan tokens are tokens with no policies attached

Orphan tokens do not expire when their own max TTL is reached

NEW QUESTION 32
An organization would like to use a scheduler to track & revoke access granted to a job (by Vault) at completion. What auth-associated Vault object should be tracked to enable this behavior?

Token accessor

Token ID

Lease ID

Authentication method

A lease ID is a unique identifier that is assigned by Vault to every dynamic secret and service type authentication token. A lease ID contains information such as the secret path, the secret version, the secret type, etc. A lease ID can be used to track and revoke access granted to a job by Vault at completion, as it allows the scheduler to perform the following operations:
Lookup the lease information by using the vault lease lookup command or the sys/leases/lookup API endpoint. This will return the metadata of the lease, such as the expire time, the issue time, the renewable status, and the TTL.
Renew the lease if needed by using the vault lease renew command or the sys/leases/renew API endpoint. This will extend the validity of the secret or the token for a specified increment, or reset the TTL to the original value if no increment is given.
Revoke the lease when the job is completed by using the vault lease revoke command or the sys/leases/revoke API endpoint. This will invalidate the secret or the token immediately and prevent any further renewals. For example, with the AWS secrets engine, the access keys will be deleted from AWS the moment a lease is revoked.
A lease ID is different from a token ID or a token accessor. A token ID is the actual value of the token that is used to authenticate to Vault and perform requests. A token ID should be treated as a secret and protected from unauthorized access. A token accessor is a secondary identifier of the token that is used for token management without revealing the token ID. A token accessor can be used to lookup, renew, or revoke a token, but not to authenticate to Vault or access secrets. A token ID or a token accessor can be used to revoke the token itself, but not the leases associated with the token. To revoke the leases, a lease ID is required.
An authentication method is a way to verify the identity of a user or a machine and issue a token with appropriate policies and metadata. An authentication method is not an object that can be tracked or revoked, but a configuration that can be enabled, disabled, tuned, or customized by using the vault auth commands or the sys/auth API endpoints.

NEW QUESTION 34
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?

Use 4096-bit RSA key to encrypt the data

Upgrade to Vault Enterprise and integrate with HSM

Periodically re-key the Vault’s unseal keys

Periodically rotate the encryption key

NEW QUESTION 35
How would you describe the value of using the Vault transit secrets engine?

Vault has an API that can be programmatically consumed by applications

The transit secrets engine ensures encryption in-transit and at-rest is enforced enterprise wide

Encryption for application data is best handled by a storage system or database engine, while storing encryption keys in Vault

The transit secrets engine relieves the burden of proper encryption/decryption from application developers and pushes the burden onto the operators of Vault
