CompTIA Security+ (SY0-401) — Question 13

A security administrator must implement a network authentication solution which will ensure encryption of user credentials when users enter their username and password to authenticate to the network.
Which of the following should the administrator implement?

Answer options

• A. WPA2 over EAP-TTLS
• B. WPA-PSK
• C. WPA2 with WPS
• D. WEP over EAP-PEAP

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as WEP over EAP-PEAP provides encrypted transmission of user credentials during authentication. Options A and C do not guarantee the same level of credential encryption, while option B does not involve encryption of credentials at all.
