True

False

5 / 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)

6 / 20

MongoDB’s data encryption at rest is available in both the Community and Enterprise editions. True or False?

True

False

7 / 20

How does client-side encryption in MongoDB affect query performance?

It can add overhead due to encryption and decryption

It enhances performance significantly

It decreases index usage

It has no impact on performance

8 / 20

In MongoDB, which encryption approach is recommended for encrypting highly sensitive information, such as user passwords or financial data?

Client-side field-level encryption

AES-128

Transport Layer Security (TLS)

Collection-level encryption

9 / 20

In MongoDB, server logs are automatically encrypted if data encryption at rest is enabled. True or False?

True

False

10 / 20

MongoDB only supports encryption with AES-128 for data at rest. True or False?

True

False

11 / 20

Field-level encryption in MongoDB encrypts specific fields within documents rather than the entire document. True or False?

True

False

12 / 20

MongoDB supports hardware security modules (HSMs) for managing encryption keys in Enterprise deployments. True or False?

True

False

13 / 20

What role does a Key Vault play in MongoDB’s Client-Side Field-Level Encryption (FLE)?

Manages database backups

Controls user authentication

Optimizes query execution

Stores encryption keys for field-level encryption

14 / 20

Which configuration parameter is used to enable encryption at rest in the MongoDB configuration file?

dataEncryption: true

encryptionKey: true

enableDataEncryption

security.enableEncryption

15 / 20

What is the primary benefit of enabling field-level encryption over database-level encryption?

It increases database speed

Encryption of specific data fields within a document

Automatic indexing of encrypted fields

It secures database logs

16 / 20

What MongoDB feature provides encryption for sensitive data at the field level, offering selective encryption of certain fields in a document?

Collection-level encryption

Database-level encryption

TLS Encryption

Client-Side Field Level Encryption

17 / 20

Which encryption technique is suitable for fields containing sensitive data that do not need to be queried?

Aggregation encryption

Metadata encryption

Deterministic encryption

Random encryption

18 / 20

What component manages encryption keys for MongoDB Enterprise data at rest?

Query processor

Storage engine

Key Management Service (KMS)

Index handler

True

False

20 / 20

What is the purpose of the Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) in MongoDB?

To integrate with external key management solutions for data encryption

To create indexes

To configure role-based access

To manage log rotations
