Implementing DevOps Solutions and Practices Using Cisco Platforms (DEVOPS) — Question 45

Which two elements help to secure your API keys? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. ramdomness
• B. SHA1
• C. triple AES
• D. rotation
• E. dictionary

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

Randomness is crucial as it makes API keys less predictable, while triple AES provides a strong encryption mechanism to protect sensitive data. The other options, such as SHA1, are outdated for secure hashing, and rotation, while important for security, is not a direct method of securing the keys themselves.
