CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 1026

A wireless network has the following design requirements:
✑ Authentication must not be dependent on enterprise directory service
✑ It must allow background reconnection for mobile users
✑ It must not depend on user certificates
Which of the following should be used in the design to meet the requirements? (Choose two.)

Answer options

Correct answer: B, E

Explanation

The correct answers, PSK and Captive portals, fulfill the requirements by providing a method for authentication that does not rely on user certificates or an enterprise directory. PEAP and EAP-TLS require certificates for validation, making them unsuitable for the given design criteria, while Open systems authentication does not meet the necessary security standards.
