Developing Applications Using Cisco Core Platforms and APIs (DEVCOR) — Question 399

What is a capability of end-to-end encryption when building an API?

Answer options

• A. It protects endpoints from being compromised.
• B. It impedes the use of backdoors.
• C. It guarantees the identity of the client.
• D. It prevents eavesdropping by third parties during transit.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as end-to-end encryption specifically secures data from being accessed by unauthorized individuals while it is in transit. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not directly relate to the primary function of end-to-end encryption, which focuses on protecting data confidentiality during transmission.
