Using HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure) is the best practice for ensuring data is securely transmitted over the Internet. HTTPS encrypts all data exchanged between the user's browser and the website, providing a layer of security against eavesdropping and tampering. Email can be encrypted, but it often relies on additional configuration and may not be in use by all email services. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) does not inherently encrypt data, making it vulnerable to interception. VPN (Virtual Private Network) also provides secure data transmission but is typically used for accessing private networks securely rather than general Internet browsing.
