Which of the following correctly compares the encryption methods used by WPA, WPA2, and WPA3?

WPA uses AES-CCMP, WPA2 uses TKIP, and WPA3 uses SAE

WPA3 uses TKIP for backward compatibility with older devices

WPA uses TKIP, WPA2 uses AES-CCMP, and WPA3 uses AES-GCMP

All three protocols use the same encryption method, AES-CCMP

A security auditor reports that the current WPA2-Personal network is vulnerable to offline dictionary attacks because an attacker can capture the four-way handshake and guess the PSK. The administrator wants to mitigate this while keeping a shared-password model. Which solution directly addresses the auditor's concern?

Upgrade to WPA3-Personal with SAE

Use a longer, more complex WPA2 passphrase

Enable WPA2-Enterprise with 802.1X

In WPA3 Enterprise mode, what additional security feature is available compared to WPA3 Personal?

Use of a pre-shared key for all clients

Use of TKIP encryption for compatibility

Support for 802.1X authentication with individual user credentials

Simpler setup with no authentication server required

A hospital is deploying a new WLAN for IoT medical devices that only support WPA2. The security policy requires forward secrecy for all wireless data. Which approach best meets the policy while accommodating the device limitation?

Use WPA2-Enterprise with 802.1X and AES-CCMP

Use WPA2-Personal with a strong passphrase
