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
