# Security Considerations

The Deprecation header field should be treated as a hint, meaning that the resource is indicating (and not guaranteeing with certainty) that it will be or is deprecated. Deprecated resources almost MUST function as before, even though one might consider non-functional details such as making them progressively less efficient with longer response time for example.

Resource documentation SHOULD provide additional information about the deprecation, potentially including recommendation(s) for replacement. Applications consuming the resource SHOULD check the referred resource documentation to verify authenticity and accuracy. In cases where a `Link` header field is used to provide documentation, one should assume that the content of the `Link` header field may not be secure, private or integrity-guaranteed, and due caution should be exercised when using it. Also, in cases where the Deprecation header field value is a date in the future, it can lead to information that otherwise might not be available. Therefore, applications consuming the resource SHOULD, if possible, consult the resource developer to discuss potential impact due to deprecation and plan for possible transition to a recommended resource(s).
