Episode 5 — Non-Repudiation, Least Privilege, and Trust Decisions (1.1)
This episode explains non-repudiation, least privilege, and trust decisions as core principles behind secure design and accountability. Non-repudiation means there is evidence that an action, transaction, or message came from a specific party and cannot easily be denied later, often through digital signatures, logs, and strong identity controls. Least privilege means users, services, and systems receive only the access required to perform their duties. For Security+ scenarios, students should evaluate whether trust is being granted too broadly to a user, device, application, vendor, or workload, and whether controls such as access reviews, role design, and logging reduce that risk.
