Question

Which enhancements were implemented as part of WPA3?

Options

AForward secrecy and SAE in personal mode for secure initial key exchange
B802.1x authentication and AES-128 encryption
CAES-64 in personal mode and AES-128 in enterprise mode
DTKIP encryption improving WEP and per-packet keying

Explanation

WPA3 implemented forward secrecy and Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) in personal mode to provide a more secure initial key exchange, protecting against offline dictionary attacks.

Common mistakes.

B. While WPA3 supports 802.1X and AES-128 encryption (actually AES-CCMP), these were already features of WPA2 Enterprise and not new enhancements specific to WPA3's foundational improvements.
C. AES-64 is not a standard encryption strength for Wi-Fi security protocols, and WPA3 primarily uses AES-CCMP, often with 128-bit or 256-bit keys.
D. TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) was an interim security protocol used in WPA and WPA2 to mitigate WEP vulnerabilities and is considered insecure, being deprecated in WPA3.

Concept tested. WPA3 security enhancements
