Question

Difficulty: MediumWireless Security Standards and Encryption Protocols

A network administrator is provisioning a wireless network for a medical clinic. To fulfill regulatory compliance mandates, the deployment requires centralized user authentication integrated with an 802.1X RADIUS server and 192-bit cryptographic strength for payload confidentiality. Which wireless security deployment mode and encryption suite best satisfies these requirements?

  1. WPA3-Enterprise using GCMP-256 encryptionAnswer
  2. B
    WPA3-Personal using Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE)
  3. C
    WPA3-Enterprise using TACACS+ for wireless frame encryption
  4. D
    WPA2-Personal using AES-CCMP-128 with dynamic pre-shared keys

Answer

WPA3-Enterprise using GCMP-256 encryption
WPA3-Enterprise mode provides 802.1X authentication via RADIUS servers for individual user accountability and supports the optional 192-bit security mode leveraging GCMP-256 encryption.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify authentication requirements
Requirements mandate 802.1X RADIUS individual authentication, ruling out Personal (PSK/SAE) modes.
Enterprise modes use EAP and 802.1X RADIUS servers for identity management.
2
Evaluate cryptographic strength requirements
Requirements specify 192-bit cryptographic security mode.
WPA3-Enterprise 192-bit mode utilizes GCMP-256 (Galois/Counter Mode Protocol) for robust payload encryption.
