Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 69

Which protocol does REST API rely on to secure the communication channel?

Answer options

• A. HTTP
• B. SSH
• C. HTTPS
• D. TCP

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, HTTPS, which is the secure version of HTTP and encrypts data exchanged between clients and servers. While HTTP is a common protocol, it does not provide security, and SSH is used for secure shell access rather than web communication. TCP is a transport layer protocol and does not provide encryption on its own.
