CompTIA Network+ (N10-006) — Question 23

The administrator would like to use the strongest encryption level possible using PSK without utilizing an additional authentication server.
Which of the following encryption types should be implemented?

Answer options

• A. WPA2 Enterprise
• B. WEP
• C. MAC filtering
• D. WPA personal A

Correct answer:

Explanation

WPA personal A (WPA2 Personal) provides the strongest encryption available for a PSK setup, making it suitable for environments where an authentication server is not feasible. In contrast, WPA2 Enterprise requires an additional authentication server, WEP is outdated and insecure, and MAC filtering does not provide encryption but rather controls access based on device addresses.
