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

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

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

Show Suggested 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
