Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 504

What is one method for achieving REST API security?

Answer options

• A. using a combination of XML encryption and XML signatures
• B. using HTTPS and TLS encryption
• C. using a MDS hash to verify the integrity
• D. using built-in protocols known as Web Services Security

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer, B, is right because HTTPS and TLS encryption provide a secure channel over which API communication can occur, ensuring that data is protected during transmission. The other options, while valid security methods, are not specifically tailored for REST APIs or are less commonly used for this purpose.
