Question: What is the primary purpose of a Key Management Server (KMS) in the context of mission critical services within a telecommunications network?
Option 1: To manage user authentication for mission critical service servers
Option 2: To store and provide security-related information for ensuring confidentiality and integrity of media and signaling
Option 3: To handle load balancing across multiple MC service servers
Option 4: To monitor network performance for mission critical communications
Explanation: The correct answer highlights the KMS's role in storing and distributing security information (like encryption keys) to ensure confidentiality and integrity of media and signaling within mission critical services, aligning with fundamental security goals in telecommunications. Options 1, 3, and 4 are incorrect as they don't accurately represent the primary function of a KMS, focused on security key management rather than authentication, load balancing, or network performance monitoring.
