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
Why not WEP?
It is asking for the “strongest” authentication protocol.
WPA fixes most of the security problems with WEP, even though it still uses RC4 cipher. It adds Temporal Key Integrity Protocol(TKIP) mechanism to make it STRONGER.
Why not “A”? What am I missing?
WPA2 does not use RC4 so it is not in the running for the correct answer. WPA-TKIP does use RC4 and it is the stronger than WEP. WEP can be easily compromised.
