A security administrator has been tasked with setting up a new internal wireless network that must use end to end TLS. Which of the following may be used to meet this objective?

The correct answer is D. WPA 2. WPA2 Enterprise mode uses the 802.1X authentication framework, which supports EAP-TLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Transport Layer Security). EAP-TLS provides mutual certificate-based authentication and establishes end-to-end TLS encryption over the wireless network, ful

Explanation

WPA2 Enterprise mode uses the 802.1X authentication framework, which supports EAP-TLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Transport Layer Security). EAP-TLS provides mutual certificate-based authentication and establishes end-to-end TLS encryption over the wireless network, fully satisfying the requirement. WPA (choice A) uses TKIP and does not natively support end-to-end TLS in the same robust manner - it is less secure and was the answer identified as vulnerable in the previous question. HTTPS (choice B) is an application-layer web protocol, not a wireless security protocol - it cannot configure wireless network encryption. WEP (choice C) is a legacy, broken wireless encryption standard with well-documented vulnerabilities and absolutely no TLS support.
