Topic #: 3
[All Vault-Associate Questions]

You have a 2GB Base64 binary large object (blob) that needs to be encrypted. Which of the following best describes the transit secrets engine?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

An authentication method should be selected for a use case based on the auth method that best establishes the identity of the client. The identity of the client is the basis for assigning a set of policies and permissions to the client in Vault. Different auth methods have different ways of verifying the identity of the client, such as using passwords, tokens, certificates, cloud credentials, etc. Depending on the use case, some auth methods may be more suitable or convenient than others. For example, for human users, the userpass or ldap auth methods may be easy to use, while for machines or applications, the approle or aws auth methods may be more secure and scalable. The choice of the auth method should also consider the trade-offs between security, performance, and usability.Reference:Auth Methods | Vault | HashiCorp Developer,Authentication - Concepts | Vault | HashiCorp Developer

I'm with Catalina on this one. D just cracks me up. It's like Vault is saying, 'Hey, we can handle your secrets, but anything over a few kilobytes? Nah, that's just too much for us!'

B) To process such a large blob. Vault will temporarily store it in the storage backend.

A) A data key encrypts the blob locally, and the same key decrypts the blob locally.

D has got to be the funniest option. The transit engine is not good for large binaries? That's like saying the microwave is not good for heating up an entire Thanksgiving turkey!

I don't know, C just seems like overkill for a 2GB blob. Why would I need a compute-optimized machine just for Vault to store it permanently?

Hmm, B sounds interesting. Temporarily storing the blob in the backend could work, but I wonder about the performance implications.

Option A seems like the most straightforward approach. Encrypt and decrypt locally with the same key - simple and secure!

I agree with Pamella. Option A) seems like the most logical solution for encrypting a large blob.

I believe option A) is the best choice because it describes how the data key encrypts and decrypts the blob locally.

I think the transit secrets engine is used for encrypting data in transit.
