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

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.
