GIAC Security Leadership Certification (GSLC) 2020 — Question 6

Which of the following provides security by implementing authentication and encryption on Wireless LAN (WLAN)?

Answer options

• A. WEP
• B. WAP
• C. L2TP
• D. IPSec

Correct answer: A

Explanation

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is designed specifically to provide authentication and encryption for WLANs, making it the correct choice. WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) does not focus on WLAN security, while L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol) and IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) are VPN protocols that operate at different layers and are not directly used for WLAN security.
