Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v12) — Question 270
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 because it utilizes Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) to enhance security and mitigate offline dictionary attacks. In contrast, Bluetooth, WPA2-Enterprise, and ZigBee do not implement this specific method and are therefore less effective against such vulnerabilities.
