Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v11) — Question 288

The security team of Debry Inc. decided to upgrade Wi-Fi security to thwart attacks such as dictionary attacks and key recovery attacks. For this purpose, the security team started implementing cutting-edge technology that uses a modern key establishment protocol called the simultaneous authentication of equals
(SAE), also known as dragonfly key exchange, which replaces the PSK concept.
What is the Wi-Fi encryption technology implemented by Debry Inc.?

Answer options

• A. WPA
• B. WEP
• C. WPA3
• D. WPA2

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is WPA3 because it employs the simultaneous authentication of equals (SAE) protocol to enhance security over previous standards. WPA offers basic security, WEP is outdated and insecure, and WPA2 does not utilize SAE, making them less secure than WPA3.
