Question

An engineer is designing a wireless access solution that must comply with the IEEE-specified security requirements for the 802.1X protocol. The engineer wants to streamline access by removing the need to provide a WPA2 PSK and domain credentials each time for access. Which of the following actions best meet this requirement? (Choose two.)

Options

  • AIssuing client authentication certificates to devices
  • BIssuing a separate 32-bit key to wireless supplicants
  • CConfiguring RADIUS with EAP-TLS
  • DUsing a geofence over the facility and enforcing it for access
  • EConfiguring RADIUS with EAP-PEAP
  • FConfiguring RADIUS with EAP-FAST

Explanation

Issuing client authentication certificates enables certificate-based authentication, removing the need for users to enter PSKs or credentials repeatedly. Configuring RADIUS with EAP-TLS leverages those certificates within the 802.1X framework, providing strong, standards-based authentication that meets IEEE security requirements.
