Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 446

What is one primary REST security design principle?

Answer options

• A. fail-safe defaults
• B. password hash
• C. adding a timestamp in requests
• D. OAuth

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, 'fail-safe defaults', emphasizes the importance of designing systems to deny access by default unless explicitly permitted. While 'password hash' and 'OAuth' are important security measures, they do not represent a foundational design principle for REST security. 'Adding a timestamp in requests' is also a technique, but not a primary design principle.
