Identity, Access, and Cryptography Practice Question

Question

A client-facing situation requires a compliant response for the CompTIA Security+ involving hashing in Identity, Access, and Cryptography. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 78)

Answer choices

1. A. Document nothing because documentation could create follow-up questions.
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. Rely on informal custom instead of the applicable rule, control, or standard.
4. D. Skip verification because the previous case had the same answer.

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.
