Security Fundamentals

What does WPA3 provide in wireless networking?

  • A backward compatibility with WPA and WPA2
  • B safeguards against brute force attacks with SAE
  • C increased security and requirement of a complex configuration
  • D optional Protected Management Frame negotiation
Explanation

WPA3 improves Wi‑Fi security by using Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE), which helps protect against offline dictionary and brute-force password attacks that were more feasible against WPA2-PSK. Protected Management Frames are mandatory in WPA3, so describing them as optional is incorrect, and backward compatibility or complex configuration is not the core security feature being asked about.
