Security+ Wireless Security Quiz

Which of the following refers to a solution allowing administrators to block internet access for users until they perform a required action?

• Honeypot

• Quarantine network

• Captive portal

• Firewall

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a network security standard which simplifies configuration of new wireless networks by providing non-technical users with a capability to easily configure network security settings and add new devices to an existing network. WPS has known vulnerabilities and disabling its functionality is one of the recommended ways of securing wireless networks.

• True

• False

What are the characteristics of WPA/WPA2 Enterprise mode?

Choose all that apply.

• Suitable for large corporate networks

• Does not require an authentication server

• Suitable for all types of wireless LANs

• Requires RADIUS authentication server

Which of the following would be the best solution for securing a small network lacking an authentication server?

• WPA-PSK

• WPA2-Enterprise

• WPA2-PSK

• WPA-Enterprise

Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) is an authentication framework frequently used in wireless networks and point-to-point connections. EAP provides an authentication framework, not a specific authentication mechanism. There are many authentication mechanisms EAP methods) that can be used with EAP. Wireless networks take advantage of several EAP methods, including PEAP, EAP-FAST, EAP-TLS, and EAP-TTLS.

• True

• False

Which of the EAP methods listed below relies on client-side and server-side certificates to perform authentication?

• EAP-TLS

• PEAP

• EAP-TTLS

• EAP-FAST

Which of the following EAP methods offers the highest level of security?

• PEAP

• EAP-FAST

• EAP-TLS

• EAP-TTLS

A security protocol designed to strengthen existing WEP implementations without requiring the replacement of legacy hardware is known as:

• PEAP

• TKIP

• CCMP

• WPA2

AES-based encryption mode implemented in WPA2 is known as:

• CCMP

• ECB

• CBC

• TKIP

Wired Equivalency Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) are encryption standards designed for securing wireless networks. WEP is an older standard and due to its vulnerabilities is not recommended. WPA was designed as an interim replacement for WEP, and WPA2 was introduced as the official standard offering the strongest security of the three.

• True

• False
