I’m not sure about the others, but TLS is the standard for confidentiality.

Agreed! TLS encrypts data in transit. Very important for REST APIs.

I think it's A) TLS. It's widely used for secure communication.

Surprised 802.1X is even an option here! What does that have to do with APIs?

Wait, isn't IPsec more for network layer security?

I thought it was SSH? Seems like a solid choice too.

I’m leaning towards TLS too, but I wonder if there are scenarios where SSH might be relevant.

I’m a bit confused between TLS and IPsec. I know both are for security, but I can't recall which one is specifically for REST APIs.

I remember practicing a similar question, and I think TLS was the right answer for securing APIs.

I think it's TLS, but I’m not completely sure. We talked about it in class when discussing secure communications.
