Exam SnowPro Core topic 1 question 923 discussion

"Snowflake supports basic authentication (i.e. username and password) in the API request header as specified in RFC 7617, where the authentication credentials are encoded using Base64. Similarly, Snowflake supports OAuth 2.0 as specified in RFC 6749."

It's A & B

Answer is A and B. Based on documentation for SQL REST API Authentication: https://docs.snowflake.com/en/developer-guide/sql-api/authenticating When you send a request, the request must include authentication information. The next sections explain how to add this information to the request: Using OAuth Using key-pair authentication A and E is wrong because it is only true for External APIs: https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/api-authentication

AB is correct A. OAuth: OAuth is a widely used industry-standard protocol for authorization. It allows third-party applications to obtain limited access to user accounts on an HTTP service. Snowflake supports OAuth for securing REST API interactions, providing a robust mechanism for authentication and authorization without exposing user credentials. B. Key pair authentication: This method involves using a public-private key pair for authentication. In Snowflake, users generate a key pair, register the public key with their Snowflake user account, and use the private key to sign authentication tokens. This method is highly secure and is especially useful for automated and programmatic access to Snowflake's REST APIs.
