The correct answer is B. The MIC provides for a cryptographic integrity check against the data payload to ensure that it. See the full explanation below for the reasoning.

Question

Given: When the CCMP cipher suite is used for protection of data frames, 16 bytes of overhead are added to the Layer 2 frame. 8 of these bytes comprise the MIC. What purpose does the encrypted MIC play in protecting the data frame?

Options

  • AThe MIC is used as a first layer of validation to ensure that the wireless receiver does not
  • BThe MIC provides for a cryptographic integrity check against the data payload to ensure that it
  • CThe MIC is a hash computation performed by the receiver against the MAC header to detect replay
  • DThe MIC is a random value generated during the 4-way handshake and is used for key mixing to
