Developing Applications Using Cisco Core Platforms and APIs (DEVCOR) — Question 117

When end-to-end encryption is implemented, which area is most vulnerable to exploitation?

Answer options

• A. cryptographic key exchange
• B. endpoint security
• C. cryptographic key generation
• D. security of data in transit

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, endpoint security, because if the endpoints are compromised, attackers can access the data before it is encrypted or after it is decrypted. The other options, such as cryptographic key exchange, key generation, and the security of data in transit, are typically safeguarded by encryption protocols and are less vulnerable if implemented correctly.
