Dell EMC Specialist – Systems Administrator, VMAX All Flash and PowerMax — Question 8

What does ECS S3 authentication with signature version 2 use to sign requests?

Answer options

• A. Access key ID
• B. Secret key
• C. Credential scope
• D. Namespace name

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as the Secret key is essential for generating the signature used in the authentication process. The Access key ID identifies the user but does not provide the necessary cryptographic key for signing. Credential scope and Namespace name are not relevant to the signing process in this context.
