Which of the following protocols or technologies would provide in-transit confidentiality 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 specifically designed for securing email communications, providing encryption and ensuring confidentiality during transit. FTPS is used for secure file transfers but does not specifically protect email contents. DNSSEC is focused on securing DNS queries, while AS2 is used for business data exchange but not specifically for email security.
