I think it's Type I cryptography. It's the most secure.

I’m leaning towards Type II cryptography, but I might be mixing it up with Type III from another practice question.

This question seems familiar; I feel like I practiced something similar where Type I was mentioned as the most secure.

I remember studying Type III cryptography, but I can't recall if it was specifically for federal use or not.

I think Type I cryptography is the one that deals with federal standards, but I'm not completely sure.
