Explanation

Encryption is the process of encoding data so that only authorized parties can read it, making it the foundational technology for secure file transfers over the internet (used in protocols like SFTP, HTTPS, and FTPS). Compression reduces file size but does not secure data. Permissions control who can access files locally but do not protect data in transit. Email can carry files but is not inherently secure for file transfer without encryption applied.
