CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 623

A company wants to configure its wireless network to require username and password authentication. Which of the following should the systems administrator implement?

Answer options

• A. WPS
• B. PEAP
• C. TKIP
• D. PKI

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, WPS, which allows for a simplified method of connecting devices to a wireless network. PEAP, while it does involve authentication, is generally used with certificates and not specifically for username/password. TKIP is a security protocol that does not handle authentication, and PKI is a framework for managing digital certificates rather than for direct authentication.
