CompTIA Security+ Certification SY0-601: The Total Course - Wi-Fi Encryption Standards

What was the main vulnerability of WEP that made it easy to crack?

• The use of AES encryption

• The complexity of initialization vectors

• The simplicity of initialization vectors

• The use of a RADIUS server

What encryption method did WPA initially use to improve security over WEP?

• SAE

• RC4

• AES

• CCMP

Which encryption protocol is used by WPA2 to provide robust security?

• RC4

• WEP

• AES

• SAE

What is the main advantage of WPA3 over WPA2?

• It disallows outdated protocols and uses SAE

• It is compatible with older hardware

• It allows the use of WPS

• It uses RC4 encryption

What is the purpose of protected management frames in WPA3?

• To prevent unauthorized access to management frames

• To enable the use of WPS

• To simplify the encryption process

• To allow easy connection of devices

What is a significant drawback of WPS that has led to its decline in use?

• It is too expensive to implement

• It is trivially cracked

• It only works with WPA3

• It requires a RADIUS server

What does SAE stand for in the context of WPA3?

• Secure Access Encryption

• Simultaneous Authentication of Equals

• Standard Access Encryption

• Simple Authentication Encryption
