Which statement correctly describes data encryption in Dynamics CRM 2015?
A. Only unencrypted data fields can be indexed.
B. An X.509 certificate is required to activate data encryption.
C. The data in encrypted data fields cannot be updated.
D. Data encryption is disabled by default.
Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Reference:
* Microsoft Dynamics CRM uses standard Microsoft SQL Server cell level encryption for a set of default entity attributes that contain sensitive information, such as user names and email passwords.
* DRAWBACKS OF USING CELL-LEVEL ENCRYPTION include:
Encryption of data introduces randomization. This makes it impossible to index data and causes a performance impact since indexes on encrypted columns cannot be used while searching for a value.
Incorrect:
not D: For Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online and Microsoft Dynamics CRM (on-premises), all new and upgraded organizations use data encryption by default. Data encryption can’t be turned off.
