A company wants to ensure that all aspects if data are protected when sending to other sites
within the enterprise. Which of the following would ensure some type of encryption is performed
while data is in transit?
A.
SSH
B.
SHA1
C.
TPM
D.
MD5
Explanation:
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a hardware-based encryption solution that is embedded in the
system’s motherboard and is enabled or disable in BIOS. It helps with hash key generation and
stores cryptographic keys, passwords, or certificates.
TPM does not make sense to me, as TPM does not protect data being sent among sites nor in transit. The answer should be SSH, A.

The answer was given as TPM which as mentioned it simply cannot be. TPM can only be used with data at REST, as it is a Hardware Module, hence hardware bound and dependant.
Yet, the question is rather ambiguous. It says that I am “sending data to other sites within the enterprise” in a “secured” fashion.
This means that data:
(a) Leaves the HDD thus is no longer bound to TPM
(b) And is “sent other sites within the enterprise”
(c) So we are talking about data in TRANSIT
Clearly the best way to send data within the enterprise would be by using the Corporate LAN.
This being the case, SSH can be the only possible answer, as it provides encryption for data in TRANSIT.
