Exam CISSP topic 1 question 5 discussion

Agree with "A" I was looking for Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) - I guess that's an algorithm not a "protocol"

A is correct

IPSec is for VPN; SSL for web applications & email communication, etc; EAP is correct answer

he correct answer is A. Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). Here's why: WPA2 and EAP: WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) utilizes the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) for user authentication. EAP is a framework that allows for various authentication methods

Easily A. EAP is the protocol used by WPA2

I agree, the correct answer is A

Correct Answer is A. Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) is the protocol used by Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) to provide users with a higher level of assurance that their data will remain protected.

WPA-EAP is broken beyond repair. It's how you still steal passwords today. Just buy ANY certificate and name an accesspoint like one you want to attack. Users will be promted about the certificate change. But they have no possibillity to know if it is a legit change (that has to be made regularly) or not. So the Client will just throw the password at you. But it has Enterprise in its name. So it has to be good!!! So no. It has by magnitudes lower security than the PSK-Variant that does not throw passwords around in algorithms that are broken since 30 years (NTLM). (Unless you are using PWD which is neither supported by Windows/Mac nor GNU-Linux.)

A. Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) is the protocol used by Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) to provide users with a higher level of assurance that their data will remain protected. EAP provides a framework for transporting authentication protocols that are used in wireless networks, and it is used to authenticate users and devices before they are granted access to the network.

A is correct.

The correct answer is A. Explanation: Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) provides users with a higher level of assurance that their data will remain protected by using the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) protocol. EAP is an authentication framework that provides support for multiple authentication methods, including digital certificates, smart cards, and one-time passwords. By supporting EAP, WPA2 enables users to establish a secure connection to a wireless network and ensure that their data is protected.

A is correct answer. EAP
