CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 401

A network technician is installing a new wireless network for a client. The client has experienced issues with other building tenants connecting to the wireless network and utilizing the bandwidth. The client wants to prevent this from happening by using certificate-based authentication. Which of the following technologies should the network administrator implement?

Answer options

• A. WPA-PSK
• B. EAP-TLS
• C. AES-CCMP
• D. WEP-TKIP

Correct answer: B

Explanation

EAP-TLS is the correct choice as it provides strong security through certificate-based authentication, ensuring only authorized users can connect to the wireless network. The other options, such as WPA-PSK, do not utilize certificate-based authentication and could allow unauthorized access. AES-CCMP and WEP-TKIP are encryption methods, not authentication protocols.
