Why each option
To implement wireless access requiring AES encryption, WPA2 is the appropriate standard to choose, as it mandates the use of AES, offering robust security.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) uses the weak RC4 stream cipher and is easily crackable, not meeting AES requirements.
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) primarily uses TKIP, which is an improvement over WEP but does not use AES as its primary encryption algorithm.
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) is an encryption protocol used with WPA and does not meet the requirement for AES encryption.
WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) is the wireless security standard that mandates the use of AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) for strong encryption, making it suitable for high-security environments. WPA2 with AES, also known as CCMP (Counter Mode with Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol), offers robust confidentiality and integrity for wireless communications.
