True or False? When encrypting data with the Transit secrets engine, Vault always stores the ciphertext in a dedicated KV store along with the associated encryption key.

  1. True
  2. False

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Comprehensive and Detailed in Depth
A: Incorrect. Transit doesn't store ciphertext; it returns it to the client.
B: Correct. The Transit engine performs encryption/decryption without persisting data.
Overall Explanation from Vault Docs:
"The Vault Transit secrets engine does NOT store any data... Ciphertext is returned to the caller."

What is the default maximum time-to-live (TTL) for a token, measured in days?

  1. 32 days (768 hours)
  2. 7 days (168 hours)
  3. 14 days (336 hours)
  4. 31 days (744 hours)

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Comprehensive and Detailed in Depth
A: Vault's default max TTL is 768 hours (32 days). Correct.
B, C, D: Incorrect values per Vault's defaults.
Overall Explanation from Vault Docs:
"The system max TTL is 768 hours (32 days) unless overridden..."

After decrypting data using the Transit secrets engine, the plaintext output does not match the plaintext credit card number that you encrypted.
Which of the following answers provides a solution?
$ vault write transit/decrypt/creditcard ciphertext="vault:v1:cZNHVx+sxdMEr......." Key: plaintext Value: Y3JlZGl0LWNhcmQtbnVtYmVyCg==

  1. Vault is sealed, therefore the data cannot be decrypted. Unseal Vault to properly decrypt the data
  2. The user doesn't have permission to decrypt the data, therefore Vault returns false data
  3. The resulting plaintext data is base64-encoded. To reveal the original plaintext, use the base64 -- decode command
  4. The data is corrupted. Execute the encryption command again using a different data key

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Comprehensive and Detailed in Depth
A: Sealing would prevent decryption, not return encoded data. Incorrect.
B: Permission issues don't return encoded data. Incorrect.
C: Transit returns base64-encoded plaintext; decoding Y3JlZGl0LWNhcmQtbnVtYmVyCg== yields "credit-card-number". Correct.
D: No evidence of corruption; it's a format issue. Incorrect.
Overall Explanation from Vault Docs:
"All plaintext data must be base64-encoded... Decode it to reveal the original value."


Reference:

https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/docs/secrets/transit



True or False? The Vault Secrets Operator does NOT encrypt client cache, such as Vault tokens and leases, by default in Kubernetes Secrets.

  1. True
  2. False

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Comprehensive and Detailed in Depth
A: VSO doesn't encrypt client cache by default; it requires extra configuration. Correct.
B: Incorrect; encryption is optional, not default.
Overall Explanation from Vault Docs:
"Client cache persistence and encryption are not enabled by default... Requires Transit engine configuration."


Reference:

https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/docs/platform/k8s/vso/sources/vault#vault- client-cache



True or False? When using the Transit secrets engine, setting the min_decryption_version will determine the minimum key length of the data key (i.e., 2048, 4096, etc.).

  1. True
  2. False

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Comprehensive and Detailed in Depth

A: Incorrect. min_decryption_version sets the minimum key version, not length.
B: Correct. It controls versioning, not key size.
Overall Explanation from Vault Docs:
"min_decryption_version specifies the minimum key version for decryption... Key length is a separate configuration."

i just took my oracle exam and let me tell you, this exam dumps was a lifesaver! without them, iam not sure i would have passed. the questions were tricky and the answers were obscure, but the exam dumps had everything i needed. i would recommend to anyone looking to pass their oracle exams with flying colors (and a little bit of cheating) lol.

22. if you need to make sure that one computer in your hot-spot network can access the internet without hot-spot authentication, which menu allows you to do this? answer is ip binding and not wall garden. wall garden allows specified websites to be accessed with users authentication to the hotspot
