Which of the following strategies allows a user to limit access according to unique hardware information supplied by a potential client?

EAP is an authentication framework supporting credential types such as certificates, tokens, and passwords, but it does not inherently use hardware-specific identifiers like MAC addresses to restrict access.

WEP is a deprecated wireless encryption protocol used to encrypt data in transit, not a mechanism for filtering access based on client hardware information.

Every network interface card has a globally unique MAC address burned into its hardware at the factory. MAC address filtering lets administrators configure allowlists or blocklists based on these hardware identifiers, directly controlling which physical devices can connect to a network or wireless access point regardless of credentials.

WTLS is a security protocol used in WAP environments to encrypt communications between wireless clients and gateways, not a hardware-based access control filter.
