True

False

7 / 20

Which encryption option secures communication between MongoDB clients and servers?

Transport Layer Security (TLS)

Role-based encryption

Field-level encryption

Secure Socket Layer (SSL)

8 / 20

In MongoDB, where are encryption keys for data at rest stored by default when using a local keyfile?

On the server’s file system

In the admin database

Within the MongoDB database

In a MongoDB collection

9 / 20

True

False

12 / 20

Which MongoDB command is used to enable data encryption at rest?

db.adminCommand({ enableEncryption: true })

Data encryption at rest is enabled through configuration settings, not a command
