Which wireless encryption technology makes use of temporal keys?

Full set: 493 questions
Answer options
A: Wireless Application Protocol (WAP)
B: Wifi Protected Access version 2 (WPA2) Correct answer
C: Wireless Equivalence Protocol (WEP)
D: Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)
Correct Answer:
B. Wifi Protected Access version 2 (WPA2)
Explanation

 Temporal Keys in WPA2: WPA2 uses the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) or Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to dynamically generate unique keys for each session. Temporal keys enhance security by preventing key reuse.  Key Features of WPA2: Strong encryption and authentication mechanisms. Improved resilience against attacks compared to WEP.  Why Not Other Options:
A . WAP: Refers to Wireless Application Protocol, unrelated to encryption.
C . WEP: Uses static keys, not temporal keys.
D. EAP: An authentication framework, not a wireless encryption protocol.  EC-Council CISO Alignment: WPA2’s use of temporal keys demonstrates its suitability for secure wireless communication, as emphasized in encryption best practices.
