CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-004) — Question 150

Which of the following describes the system responsible for storing private encryption/decryption files with a third party to ensure these files are stored safely?

Answer options

• A. Key escrow
• B. TPM
• C. Trust models
• D. Code signing

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Key escrow is the correct answer because it specifically refers to a system where encryption keys are stored securely by a third party. The other options do not relate to the secure storage of private keys; TPM refers to hardware security, trust models define how entities establish trust, and code signing is about verifying the integrity of software.
