Explanation
TLS (Transport Layer Security) primarily addresses confidentiality by encrypting data in transit, preventing unauthorized parties from reading intercepted communications. While TLS does provide some integrity via message authentication codes (MACs) and authenticity via certificates, its primary and most recognized function is encrypting the channel - making confidentiality the top concern it addresses. Availability and accessibility are not security goals that TLS is designed to address, and integrity, though a secondary benefit, is not the main driver for TLS adoption.
