Due to hardware limitation, a technician must implement a wireless encryption algorithm that uses
the RC4 protocol. Which of the following is a wireless encryption solution that the technician
should implement while ensuring the STRONGEST level of security?
A.
WPA2-AES
B.
802.11ac
C.
WPA-TKIP
D.
WEP
This is one of the toughest string of questions. RC4 can be used in both Wep and wpa, but not with aes or ccmp, and therefore not wpa2. This appears at first blush to be contradicted by the fact that wpa2 is the strongest of the three methods. Once we begin to see how these interrelate, then a matrix of understanding begins to develop.
The answer is WPA-TKIP
