Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) — Question 82

WPA2 uses AES for wireless data encryption at which of the following encryption levels?

Answer options

• A. 64 bit and CCMP
• B. 128 bit and CRC
• C. 128 bit and CCMP
• D. 128 bit and TKIP

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as WPA2 employs AES encryption at a 128-bit level with CCMP, which is a robust encryption protocol. Options A and B are incorrect because they either specify the wrong bit length or use the wrong encryption method. Option D is also incorrect since TKIP is not used with AES in WPA2.
