HPE Aruba Certified Design Expert (ACDX) — Question 24

How does WPA2 protect wireless user traffic in the air?

Answer options

• A. It provides both data integrity and privacy with AES.
• B. It provides data integrity with TKIP and data privacy with AES.
• C. It provides data privacy with TKIP and no data integrity.
• D. It provides data integrity with AES and no data privacy.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because WPA2 utilizes AES to ensure both data integrity and privacy during wireless transmission. Option B is incorrect as it incorrectly associates TKIP with data privacy; TKIP does not provide the same level of security as AES. Options C and D are also wrong since they either lack data integrity or privacy, which WPA2 is designed to protect.
