Is sensitive data encrypted in transport?
Data can be exposed to risks both in transit and at rest and requires protection in both states. For protecting data in transit, enterprises often choose to encrypt sensitive data prior to moving and/or use encrypted connections (HTTPS, SSL, TLS, FTPS, etc) to protect the contents of data in transit.
How do I send encrypted data to my server?
When a user is first created, generate a public/private key client-side and transmit the public key to the server. Encrypt the private key client-side with a symmetric key generated from the users password. Any actions that require this private key thus also require the users password, protecting from device theft.
How does SSL encrypt data from server to client?
The HTTP data is not always encrypted with public key of the Server, in order to send it to the Server. The public key of the Server is just used in the beginning (handshaking protocol) to establish a secure key, for Secure key encryption (Symmetric encryption)

In addition to protecting customer data at rest, Microsoft uses encryption technologies to protect customer data in transit. Data is in transit: when a client machine communicates with a Microsoft server; when a Microsoft server communicates with another Microsoft server; and
How is encrypted data transmitted in SQL Server?
SQL Server can use Transport Layer Security (TLS) to encrypt data that is transmitted across a network between an instance of SQL Server and a client application. The TLS encryption is performed within the protocol layer and is available to all supported SQL Server clients. TLS can be used for server validation when a client connection requests
When to use encryption when transmitting protected data?
