(225) Centralized control of encryption keys will not reduce?
- A.
Procedural problems
- B.
Operational problems
- C.
Security problems
- D.
Safety problems
Correct Answer
D. Safety problemsExplanation
Centralized control of encryption keys will not reduce safety problems. This means that even with centralized control, safety issues related to encryption keys will still exist. Centralized control refers to the practice of managing all encryption keys in a single location, which can lead to potential vulnerabilities and risks. Safety problems may include unauthorized access to encryption keys, loss or theft of keys, or inadequate protection measures. Therefore, while centralized control may address other issues such as procedural, operational, or security problems, it does not necessarily eliminate safety problems.Rate this question:
