Understanding Network Encryption

What does SSID stand for?

• Secure Socket Identification

• Service Set Identifier

• System Signal Identification

• Secure Service Internet

How can you make a Wi-Fi network harder to detect?

• By using a stronger password

• By limiting the signal range

• By encrypting the data

• By hiding the SSID

What was the first protocol used to encrypt data over Wi-Fi networks?

• WEP

• WPA2

• WPA

• HTTPS

Which encryption protocol is known to be more secure than its predecessor?

• WPA

• WPA2

• All of the above

• WEP

What is the purpose of a handshake protocol in network encryption?

• To verify the identity of devices

• To ensure the receiver has a valid master key

• To create a new encryption key

• To encrypt the data being transmitted

Why are wired networks considered more secure than wireless networks?

• Because they are faster

• Because they do not broadcast data

• Because they use different protocols

• Because they use stronger encryption

What type of encryption uses the same key for both encryption and decryption?

• Asymmetric encryption

• Private-key encryption

• Symmetric encryption

• Public-key encryption

Which encryption method is considered more advanced and secure?

• Asymmetric encryption

• WEP encryption

• WPA2 encryption

• Symmetric encryption
