The correct answer is DNSSEC.

DNSSEC provides signatures that ensure the authenticity and integrity of DNS responses, and it does not encrypt the payload of general network traffic. Because it is focused on validating DNS records rather than encrypting application or service data, it is not typically used to protect data as it moves between stores and services.

HTTPS is incorrect because it uses TLS to encrypt HTTP traffic between clients and servers and therefore protects data in transit across networks.

IPSec is incorrect because it operates at the IP layer and can provide confidentiality and integrity for IP packets, and it is commonly used to secure traffic between hosts or sites.

VPN is incorrect because a virtual private network creates an encrypted tunnel between endpoints and secures all traffic that traverses that tunnel, and VPNs are commonly used to protect data moving between locations and cloud services.
