Difficulty: EasyWireless Security and Authentication

A system administrator needs to implement WPA3-Enterprise security on an office wireless network to replace an outdated setup. Which TWO of the following authentication components and protocols are required to support a WPA3-Enterprise deployment?

  1. Centralized authentication server using RADIUSAnswer
  2. B
    A static Pre-Shared Key (PSK) shared by all enterprise endpoints
  3. IEEE 802.1X framework for network access controlAnswer
  4. D
    Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) session encryption

Answer

The required components for WPA3-Enterprise are a centralized RADIUS authentication server and the IEEE 802.1X access control framework.
WPA3-Enterprise requires both an IEEE 802.1X access control framework and a centralized authentication server (such as RADIUS) to authenticate users individually rather than using a single shared passphrase.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the authentication framework required for enterprise wireless security.
Enterprise modes use IEEE 802.1X to manage network access control and pass authentication packets between client devices and the backend server.
802.1X provides the standard structure for enterprise-grade wireless access control.
2
Determine the server component required for user credential verification.
A RADIUS server is used to maintain and check individual user credentials (or certificates) rather than relying on a shared key.
Centralized credential verification allows individual user account auditing and revocation.
