A1.2: The protocol allows for authentication and authorisation where necessary

FAIR does not mean open. You're certainly allowed to authenticate and to authorize. The HTTP protocol is pretty great for this.

A1.1: The protocol is open, free and universally implementable

open -- free as in speech, free -- free as in beer, and universally implementable -- NOT free as in puppies.

A1: (Meta)data are retrievable by their identifier using a standardized communication protocol

So, you've identified a digital resource. Now it's time to retrieve it and/or its metadata record. TL;DR - Use HTTP(S) if possible.

F4: (Meta)data are registered or indexed in a searchable resource

Increasing leverage: the ratio of machine action to user action. Indexing as leverage via sorting.

F3: Metadata clearly and explicitly include the identifier of the data they describe

Literature references with and without DOIs. Tables of data in articles with and without unique identifiers in each row for what that row is about. The magic of includ...

F2: Data are described with rich metadata

"intrinsic" vs "extrinsic" metadata. Other-than-technical interoperability. Qualification vs. "Quality". Feature detection. Search-engine "rich results".

F1: (Meta)data have globally unique, persistent identifiers

Today, we'll be talking about the first of the FAIR principles, F1: Metadata are assigned globally unique and persistent identifiers.
