ITPEC IP April 2020 Question 38
ITPEC IP April 2020 — Question 38 of 100
WPA2 is a wireless LAN security method that provides much stronger encryption than obsolete WEP. WPA2 commonly uses AES-based CCMP to protect Wi-Fi traffic and addresses major weaknesses in WEP's design.
Answer (d)
Why not others:
- ESSID identifies a wireless network and is not encryption
- HTTPS secures web communication
- S/MIME protects e-mail content
- the latter two are application-oriented security technologies, not WLAN link encryption
Key rule: Use modern Wi-Fi security protocols such as WPA2 or newer; WEP is cryptographically broken.
