The correct answer is C. AES F. TKIP. WPA mixed mode supports both older WPA (using TKIP) and newer WPA2 (using AES) clients simultaneously on the same network.

Question

Joe, a network technician, is implementing a wireless network and needs to support legacy devices. He has selected to use WPA mixed mode. WPA mixed mode is normally implemented with which of the following encryption factors? (Select TWO).

Options

  • CAES
  • DSSL
  • ETLS
  • FTKIP

Why each option

WPA mixed mode supports both older WPA (using TKIP) and newer WPA2 (using AES) clients simultaneously on the same network.

ASSH

SSH is a remote administration protocol, not a wireless encryption cipher used in WPA.

B3DES

3DES is a symmetric block cipher used in VPNs and other protocols but is not part of the WPA or WPA2 wireless security specifications.

CAESCorrect

AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is the encryption cipher used by WPA2, which is included in WPA mixed mode to support modern clients. It provides stronger security than TKIP.

DSSL

SSL is a transport layer security protocol for web traffic and is not a wireless encryption method used by WPA.

ETLS

TLS is the successor to SSL and is used for securing application-layer communications, not wireless frame-level encryption.

FTKIPCorrect

TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) is the encryption cipher used by the original WPA standard, included in mixed mode to provide backwards compatibility for legacy devices that cannot support AES.
