a)

Least Privilege

b)

Resource Encapsulation

c)

Layering

a)

Information/Data Hiding

b)

Minimization

c)

Simplicity of Design

d)

Abstraction

13.

While a password should be long and complex so that it will be difficult to break, the password should be easy for you to remember. One way to do this is to take the first letter of each word from a song that you know. Which principle applies to this method of creating a password?

Least Privilege

c)

Minimization
