Practice question 162 of 498 · hard

A company needs dedicated managed hardware protection for cryptographic keys and continues to store general API passwords. Which two design choices fit? Select two.

Select all that apply. Every correct option and no extras are required for credit in the app.

  1. A.Keep recovery materials beside an unprotected application configuration
  2. B.Disable keys before checking consumer migration
  3. C.Evaluate Managed HSM for the required key boundary
  4. D.Assume Managed HSM is a general-purpose password database
  5. E.Use an appropriate secret-capable vault for API passwords with minimal access
Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answers

  • Evaluate Managed HSM for the required key boundary
  • Use an appropriate secret-capable vault for API passwords with minimal access

Managed HSM is key-focused; general passwords need an appropriate secret store. Treating HSM as a general password database is a product-boundary error, unsafe recovery material exposes keys, and premature disablement can break services.
