Solution:

From my own perspective the encryption solution that i will use that prevents s a competitor from receiving confidential information and justify the recommendation is the SSL(secure Socket Layer) Or TLS(Transport Layer Security).

This is because in this case we have to share data confidentially (information need to be hidden from Unauthorized  security access. also these provides the Transport Layer security that we needed in above example above.

The purpose of these protocol is to provide server and client authentication, Data confidentiality,and Data integrity (protected from unauthorized change). Application Layer client/server program such as HTTP that uses the service of TCP can encapsulate their data in SSL Packets.

SSL (Secure Socket Layer): is defined as the normal technology for protecting an internet connection secure and defend any sensitive data that is being sent between two systems, and not allowing criminals from reading and changing any information sent, including potential personal details.

TLS (Transport Layer security): It is a procedure that allows  data integrity  and privacy over Internet communications.
