Which of the following is the most appropriate method for protecting data in transit?
TLS 1.3 protects network communications with authenticated encryption, providing confidentiality and integrity for data in transit. SHA-256 only hashes data, AES-256 is an encryption primitive rather than a complete transport protocol, and SSL 3.0 is deprecated. NIST identifies TLS as providing protection for data during electronic dissemination and requires support for TLS 1.3.
