To protect data in transit, you need a protocol that encrypts communications between endpoints: TLS 1.3: Modern protocol providing encryption, authentication, and integrity for data transmitted over networks (e.g., HTTPS). It is the current best practice for securing data in transit.
TLS for sure. Easy one.
Chat GPT:The correct answer is C. TLS 1.3. TLS (Transport Layer Security) 1.3 is the most appropriate protocol for protecting data in transit, as it provides encryption, integrity, and secure authentication between two communicating parties. It is an updated, secure version of SSL/TLS and is widely recommended for secure communication over networks. A. SHA-256 is a hashing algorithm, primarily used for ensuring data integrity, not for encrypting data in transit. B. SSL 3.0 is an outdated and vulnerable protocol that should no longer be used for securing data. D. AES-256 is an encryption algorithm, but it is typically used for data at rest or as part of protocols like TLS for data in transit; by itself, it is not a protocol for securing data in transit.
