CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-002) — Question 133

Which of the following protocols or technologies would in-transit confidentially protection for emailing the final security assessment report?

Answer options

• A. S/MIME
• B. FTPS
• C. DNSSEC
• D. AS2

Correct answer: A

Explanation

S/MIME is the correct choice as it provides end-to-end encryption for email messages, ensuring that the contents remain confidential during transmission. FTPS is used for secure file transfers, DNSSEC secures DNS queries, and AS2 is primarily for secure data exchange in business transactions, but none of these directly protect email confidentiality.
