Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v11) — Question 287
Which wireless security protocol replaces the personal pre-shared key (PSK) authentication with Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) and is therefore resistant to offline dictionary attacks?
Answer options
- A. Bluetooth
- B. WPA2-Enterprise
- C. WPA3-Personal
- D. ZigBee
Correct answer: C
Explanation
WPA3-Personal is the correct answer as it introduces SAE, enhancing security against offline attacks. In contrast, Bluetooth is a different technology for short-range communication, WPA2-Enterprise focuses on enterprise-level security and does not utilize SAE, and ZigBee is primarily used for low-power devices and not for wireless security protocols.
