Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v13) — Question 219

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 introduces SAE, which enhances security by mitigating offline dictionary attack risks. Bluetooth, WPA2-Enterprise, and ZigBee do not utilize SAE for authentication, making them less secure against this type of attack.
