Exam 312-50v13 Topic 1 Question 279 Discussion

Actual exam question for ECCouncil's 312-50v13 exam
Question #: 279
Topic #: 1
Encrypted session tokens vary in length, indicating inconsistent encryption strength. What is the best mitigation?

Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

CEH v13 explains that cryptographic consistency is essential for secure session management. Variable token lengths can leak information about encryption methods, key sizes, or user privilege levels, making sessions vulnerable to cryptanalysis or targeted attacks.
The most effective mitigation is implementing uniform encryption strength across all roles, ensuring consistent key sizes, algorithms, and token formats. While MFA improves authentication and key rotation improves lifecycle management, neither directly resolves cryptographic inconsistency.
CEH v13 stresses that encryption should be role-agnostic and standardized. Therefore, Option C is correct.
