Match each wireless security standard on the left with its corresponding primary cryptographic cipher and authentication mechanism on the right.
- WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)RC4 stream cipher with CRC-32 integrity check and static keying
- WPA2-PersonalAES-CCMP encryption with a Pre-Shared Key (PSK)
- WPA3-PersonalSAE (Simultaneous Authentication of Equals) with AES-CCMP-128 or GCMP-128
- WPA3-Enterprise (192-bit mode)GCMP-256 cryptographic suite combined with 802.1X EAP authentication
Answer
WEP pairs with RC4/CRC-32; WPA2-Personal pairs with AES-CCMP with PSK; WPA3-Personal pairs with SAE with AES-CCMP-128/GCMP-128; WPA3-Enterprise (192-bit mode) pairs with GCMP-256 with 802.1X EAP.
Each wireless security standard defines specific cryptographic primitives and authentication methods: WEP uses RC4 with CRC-32; WPA2-Personal introduces AES-CCMP with a Pre-Shared Key; WPA3-Personal replaces traditional PSK with SAE while retaining/upgrading AES encryption; and WPA3-Enterprise 192-bit mode enforces GCMP-256 alongside enterprise 802.1X EAP authentication.
