Free Cisco 200-201 Actual Exam Questions - Question 14 Discussion

D imo, since steganography hides data inside other files making it practically indecipherable without knowing where or how to look, even if you don’t have a key or password.

C, because neither fragmentation nor pivoting changes the data itself; only encryption actually scrambles it so you need a key to make sense of it.

C imo, encryption is the straightforward way to make data unreadable without a key. Fragmentation or steganography don’t inherently require a key to decode, so they don't fit as well here.

C. Encryption is the only option that truly makes data unreadable without a specific key, certificate, or password. Fragmentation just splits data, but doesn’t hide its meaning. Pivoting is about moving through networks, not data protection. Steganography hides data inside other files but doesn’t inherently require a key to get the hidden info; anyone who knows where to look can potentially find it. So encryption fits the question’s criteria best.

C imo, since only encryption needs a key to decode the data.

C/D? Encryption definitely makes data unreadable without the key, but steganography hides data inside other files. Since the question specifies incomprehensible without a key, encryption fits better than steganography.

It’s C. Encryption scrambles the data so it can’t be understood without the right key or password. Fragmentation just breaks data into pieces but doesn’t hide or scramble it. Pivoting is about moving through networks, not hiding data. Steganography hides data inside other files but the data itself isn’t necessarily incomprehensible unless combined with encryption. So, encryption fits best here because it requires a key to make the data readable again.

Maybe D? Steganography hides data within other files, but it doesn’t necessarily make the data incomprehensible without a key. Encryption definitely needs a key or password to work. The question asks about making data unreadable without a key, so shouldn’t encryption be the answer? Or is the question implying something else by “incomprehensible”? Wondering if the context matters here.
