ITPEC IP April 2022 Question 41
ITPEC IP April 2022 — Question 41 of 100
WPA2 is a wireless LAN security standard that provides much stronger protection than WEP. WPA2 uses robust encryption and integrity mechanisms, commonly based on AES-CCMP, whereas WEP has fundamental weaknesses that allow attackers to recover keys from captured traffic.
Answer (d)
Why not others:
- ESSID identifies a wireless network and is not an encryption method
- HTTPS protects HTTP communication between applications over a network, not the wireless LAN link itself
- S/MIME provides signing and encryption for e-mail
Key rule: Wireless link security uses WPA-family standards; identifiers and application-layer security protocols do not replace WLAN encryption.
