Identity, Access, and Cryptography Practice Question

Question

A student must apply the concept rather than define it only for the CompTIA Security+ involving hashing in Identity, Access, and Cryptography. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 158)

Answer choices

1. A. Skip verification because the previous case had the same answer.
2. B. The best answer is to choose the control or response that reduces risk while preserving confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountable security operations for the hashing scenario.
3. C. Document nothing because documentation could create follow-up questions.
4. D. Rely on informal custom instead of the applicable rule, control, or standard.

Correct Answer

B. The best answer is to choose the control or response that reduces risk while preserving confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountable security operations for the hashing scenario.

Explanation

The correct answer is B because hashing is tested by asking candidates to choose the control or response that reduces risk while preserving confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountable security operations. The distractors reflect common exam mistakes: ignoring context, using informal shortcuts, skipping verification, or applying a rule from the wrong domain.
