An organization uses a content delivery network to serve media files to a global audience. Which approach provides the highest level of confidentiality and integrity for transmitted data?
Implementing location-based routing to direct traffic to the nearest data center
Transferring content between the user's device and the origin with consistent encryption
Deactivating encryption at edge servers for performance gains, then re-encrypting afterward
Using cryptographic checksums for media files stored at remote endpoints
Establishing an unbroken line of secure communication from user devices to the final system ensures that data remains protected even when passing through multiple nodes. Terminating and re-establishing secure connections at edge servers can introduce points of exposure. Location-based routing simplifies access, and cryptographic checksums support file integrity, but neither alone guarantees data confidentiality during transit.
