Difficulty: EasyWireless Security Standards and Encryption Protocols

A network administrator is configuring a corporate wireless network that requires individual user authentication against a central RADIUS server using WPA3-Enterprise. Which authentication framework must be implemented on the wireless network?

  1. 802.1X authentication with EAPAnswer
  2. B
    Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE)
  3. C
    Pre-Shared Key (PSK) authentication
  4. D
    Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)

Answer

802.1X authentication with EAP is required for WPA3-Enterprise deployments to authenticate users against a central RADIUS server.
WPA3-Enterprise mandates the use of 802.1X port-based access control along with Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) to securely pass authentication credentials between client stations and a central RADIUS server.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the organizational requirements in the scenario
The scenario specifies a WPA3-Enterprise deployment requiring centralized RADIUS user authentication.
Enterprise security modes require central identity verification rather than static pre-shared passwords.
2
Select the appropriate authentication framework
802.1X port-based network access control with Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) must be configured.
802.1X provides the standard structure for passing EAP authentication messages between wireless clients, access points, and RADIUS servers.
