Which data state would be most likely to use TLS as a protection mechanism? 

Answer options:

A. Data in use
B. Data at rest
C. Archived
D. Data in transit

D

TLS would be used with data in transit, when packets are exchanged between clients or services and sent across a network. During the data-in-use state, the data is already protected via a technology such as TLS as it is exchanged over the network and then relies on other technologies such as digital signatures for protection while being used. The data-at-rest state primarily uses encryption for stored file objects. Archived data would be the same as data at rest.
