Question

WPA2 provides enterprise and Wi-Fi users with stronger data protection and network access control which of the following encryption algorithm is used DVWPA2?

Options

  • ARC4-CCMP
  • BRC4-TKIP
  • CAES-CCMP
  • DAES-TKIP

Explanation

WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) mandates the use of AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) as the cipher and CCMP (Counter Mode with Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol) as the data integrity/encapsulation protocol. AES-CCMP replaced the weaker RC4-TKIP used by the original WPA. RC4 is a stream cipher considered cryptographically weak; TKIP was a transitional protocol. WPA2 with AES-CCMP provides significantly stronger confidentiality and data integrity for wireless networks.
