Passwords must always be hashed to protect the system (or minimize the damage) even if it is compromised in some hacking attempts. There are many such hashing algorithms that can prove really effective for password security e.g. PBKDF2, bcrypt, and scrypt algorithms. (D)
Answer is A.
MD5 & SHA-1 are legacy. PBKDF2 & SCrypt are considered uncrackable, but used by Cisco for local password encryption, and not REST functions.
D
One of the best practices to secure REST APIs is using password hash. Passwords must
always be hashed to protect the system (or minimize the damage) even if it is compromised in some hacking attempts. There are many such hashing algorithms which can prove really
effective for password security e.g. PBKDF2, bcrypt and scrypt algorithms.
Other ways to secure REST APIs are: Always use HTTPS, Never expose information on URLs
Usernames, passwords, session tokens, and API keys should not appear in the URL
