Restricted interface: A security principle that advocates for limiting the exposure of the working of a system. It involves providing only the necessary features and functionalities needed to fulfill specific tasks, thereby reducing the attack surface and limiting the potential for misuse. By restricting the functionality and information available, the scope for errors or security breaches can be significantly reduced.
