CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 677

A systems administrator wants to configure an enterprise wireless solution that supports authentication over HTTPS and wireless encryption using AES. Which of the following should the administrator configure to support these requirements? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. 802.1X
• B. RADIUS federation
• C. WPS
• D. Captive portal
• E. WPA2
• F. WDS

Correct answer: A, E

Explanation

The correct answers are A (802.1X) and E (WPA2), as 802.1X provides a framework for port-based network access control and supports authentication methods like HTTPS, while WPA2 uses AES for encryption. Options B (RADIUS federation) and D (Captive portal) do not directly fulfill the requirements for wireless encryption and HTTPS authentication, and C (WPS) is not relevant to these specific security needs.
