Weekly CISSP Exam Questions
What is the best practice for securely storing passwords?
A. Plaintext in a secure folder
B. Reversible encryption
C. Salted Hashes
D. ROT13
Answer: C. Salted Hashes
Explanation:
- Salted Hashes: Adds extra randomness ("salt") and uses a hash, very secure.
- Plaintext in a secure folder: Not secure, easily accessible if folder compromised.
- Reversible encryption: Better than plaintext, but reversible.
- ROT13: A very weak form of obfuscation, not encryption.
