ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

During a security design review for a microservice-based REST API, the team must decide how client sessions will be represented. Which proposed solution adheres most closely to the economy of mechanism principle?

  • Record each session as an entry on a consortium blockchain so all microservices can independently verify token provenance.

  • Embed user attributes in a signed and encrypted JWT that contains nested claims and uses different rotating keys for every microservice.

  • Invent a proprietary token format that applies custom compression and a home-grown checksum algorithm before transmission.

  • Issue short, opaque session IDs stored in an in-memory data store and validate them using a standard, widely tested session-management library.
