QuestionQ1031

Network Access

Which cipher is supported for wireless encryption only with the WPA2 standard?

  • A RC4
  • B AES
  • C SHA
  • D AES256
Explanation

WPA2 is the Wi‑Fi security standard that uses AES for data encryption, typically through CCMP. RC4 is tied to older WEP and WPA/TKIP implementations, and SHA is a hashing algorithm rather than the wireless encryption cipher used for protecting Wi‑Fi traffic. Therefore, the cipher associated specifically with WPA2 is AES.
