A wireless network engineer is implementing updated wireless equipment within the company. Which statement describes a wireless security protocol?

  • WPA secures the data using the Rivest Cipher 4 encryption method with a static key.
  • WPA3-Personal uses 802.1X/EAP authentication that requires the use of a 192-bit cryptographic suite.
  • WPA2-Personal is intended for home or small office networks and uses 802.1X/EAP authentication.
  • WPA2-Enterprise is intended for enterprise networks and users must authenticate using 802.1X standard.

Explanation: WPA2-Personal is intended for home or small office networks, and users authenticate using a pre-shared key. WPA2-Enterprise is intended for enterprise networks, and users must authenticate using 802.1X standard. WPA secures the data with the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol encryption algorithm. WPA3-Enterprise uses 802.1X/EAP authentication, that requires the use of a 192-bit cryptographic suite and eliminates the mixing of security protocols for previous 802.11 standards.
