CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-003) — Question 277

During the deployment of a new system, the implementation team determines that APIs used to integrate the new system with a legacy system are not functioning properly. Further investigation shows there is a misconfigured encryption algorithm used to secure data transfers between systems. Which of the following should the project manager use to determine the source of the defined algorithm in use?

Answer options

• A. Code repositories
• B. Security requirements traceability matrix
• C. Software development lifecycle
• D. Roles matrix
• E. Implementation guide

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The correct answer is E, the Implementation guide, as it typically contains detailed information about the encryption algorithms and configurations used. The other options, while relevant to software development and security, do not specifically address the configuration details necessary to identify the encryption algorithm in use.
