CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 1341

Which two wireless security standards use counter mode cipher block chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol for encryption and data integrity? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Wi-Fi 6
• B. WPA3
• C. WEP
• D. WPA2
• E. WPA

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

WPA3 and WPA2 both employ the counter mode cipher block chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol, which enhances security by providing robust encryption and data integrity. In contrast, WEP is outdated and lacks the advanced security features of WPA2 and WPA3, while WPA is an earlier standard that does not provide the same level of security as WPA2 and WPA3.
