Encryption at rest and in transit in HLD - Interactive Code Practice

Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to specify the encryption method used for data stored on disk.

HLD

storage_config = {"encryption": "[1]"}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Choosing hashing algorithms like SHA-256 or MD5 instead of encryption.

The standard encryption method for data at rest is AES-256, which provides strong symmetric encryption.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to specify the protocol used to secure data during transmission.

HLD

network_config = {"protocol": "[1]"}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

BTLS

CHTTP

DSMTP

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Confusing unencrypted protocols like HTTP or FTP with secure ones.

TLS (Transport Layer Security) is the standard protocol to encrypt data in transit, ensuring confidentiality and integrity.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code that incorrectly uses a hashing function for encrypting data at rest.

HLD

encryption_method = "[1]"  # Incorrect for encryption at rest

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

AAES-256

BRSA

CMD5

DSHA-1

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using hash functions instead of encryption algorithms.

Hash functions like SHA-1 and MD5 are not encryption methods. AES-256 is a proper encryption algorithm for data at rest.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to complete the configuration for encrypting data at rest and in transit.

HLD

config = {"at_rest": "[1]", "in_transit": "[2]"}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

AAES-256

BTLS

CHTTP

DMD5

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mixing up encryption and hashing algorithms.

Data at rest should be encrypted with AES-256, and data in transit should be secured with TLS.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to complete the security setup for data encryption and integrity verification.

HLD

security = {"encrypt_at_rest": "[1]", "encrypt_in_transit": "[2]", "integrity_check": "[3]"}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

ARSA

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Confusing encryption with hashing for integrity.

AES-256 is used for encrypting data at rest, TLS for encrypting data in transit, and SHA-256 for verifying data integrity.
