CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 290

A network administrator at a small office wants to simplify the configuration of mobile clients connecting to an encrypted wireless network. Which of the following should be implemented in the administrator does not want to provide the wireless password or he certificate to the employees?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) allows devices to connect to a wireless network without needing to share the password or certificate, making it convenient for mobile clients. In contrast, 802.1x requires more complex authentication methods involving credentials, WPA2-PSK relies on sharing a pre-shared key, and TKIP is an encryption protocol that doesn't address the ease of configuration.
