QuestionQ124

Wireless Device Security

Matias, a network security administrator at an organization, was assigned to implement secure wireless-network encryption. For this purpose, Matias used a security solution that employs 256-bit Galois/Counter Mode Protocol (GCMP-256) to preserve the authenticity and confidentiality of data.

Identify the type of wireless encryption used by the security solution in the scenario.

  • A WPA2 encryption
  • B WPA3 encryption
  • C WEP encryption
  • D WPA encryption
Explanation

GCMP-256 is a modern authenticated-encryption cipher suite used by WPA3, including WPA3-Enterprise security configurations. It provides both confidentiality and data-origin/integrity protection, unlike the older mechanisms used by WPA and WEP.
