AWS Security & Encryption

What is the purpose of encryption in flight using TLS/SSL?

• To increase the speed of data transmission

• To ensure data integrity only

• To encrypt data before sending and decrypt it after receiving

• To compress data to save bandwidth

What does TLS stand for?

• Transport Layer Security

• Transfer Link System

• Transmission Layering Standard

• Trusted Layering SSL

What does encryption in flight help prevent?

• Data loss due to system crashes

• Unauthorized access to data at rest

• Man in the Middle (MITM) attacks

• Physical theft of data storage devices

What do TLS certificates help with?

• Speeding up the encryption process

• Ensuring data is only stored in encrypted form

• Helping with encryption for HTTPS

• Generating random passwords for users

When is data encrypted in server-side encryption at rest?

• Before being received by the server

• After being received by the server

• During transmission over the network

• After being sent to the client

What is necessary for data to be stored in an encrypted form on the server?

• A data key

• A password

• A user ID

• A digital certificate

Why must encryption/decryption keys be managed on the server?

• Because the client must have access to it

• Because the server must have access to it

• Because they are not necessary

• Because they are managed by the client

What happens to the data before it is sent from the server?

• It is encrypted

• It is stored

• It is decrypted

• It is deleted

What is the primary characteristic of client-side encryption regarding data decryption?

• Data is decrypted by the server.

• Data is decrypted by the client.

• Data is decrypted by both the client and the server.

• Data is never decrypted.

Who should not be able to decrypt the data in client-side encryption?

• The client

• The receiving client

• The server

• The storage service
