If encryption has been re-enabled four times on a storage area, how many encryption keys exist?

The correct answer is C. Four. Content Platform Engine encrypts and decrypts content using AES in Counter mode with 128-bit key, a Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-compliant algorithm. A new key is generated whenever you enable encryption for the storage area. For example, when you first…

Explanation

Content Platform Engine encrypts and decrypts content using AES in Counter mode with 128-bit key, a Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-compliant algorithm. A new key is generated whenever you enable encryption for the storage area. For example, when you first enable encryption, one encryption key exists, and that key is used to encrypt new content. If you re-enable encryption, two encryption keys now exist, and the most recent key is used to encrypt new content. If you re-enable encryption again, three encryption keys now exist, and so on. The storage area encryption keys are stored in a secure form in the object store database.
