Security Fundamentals — Question 51

The WPA2 PreShared Key (PSK) is created by using a passphrase (password) and salting it with the WPS PIN.
Select the correct answer if the underlined text does not make the statement correct. Select "No change is needed" if the underlined text makes the statement correct.

Answer options

• A. Service Set Identifier (SSID)
• B. Admin password
• C. WEP key
• D. No change is needed

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as the statement incorrectly mentions the SSID instead of the correct method of generating the PSK. The PSK is derived solely from the passphrase and the WPS PIN, not the SSID, Admin password, or WEP key, making those options incorrect.
