How does WPA3 improve security?

Answer options

• A. It uses SAE for authentication.
• B. It uses RC4 for encryption.
• C. It uses TKIP for encryption.
• D. It uses a 4-way handshake for authentication.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

WPA3 improves security by using Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) for authentication, which is more secure than previous methods. Options B and C are incorrect because WPA3 does not use RC4 or TKIP, both of which are outdated and vulnerable encryption protocols. Option D is also incorrect as WPA3 does not rely on the traditional 4-way handshake for authentication.
