Exam 200-301 topic 1 question 670 discussion

SAE is refer to authentication. encryption method should be B -AES

SAE WPA3 use a new authentication and key management mechanism called Simultaneous Authentication of Equals. This mechanism is further enhanced through the use of SAE Hash-to-Element (H2E). SAE with H2E is mandatory for WPA3 and Wi-Fi 6E. SAE employs a discrete logarithm cryptography to perform an efficient exchange in a way that performs mutual authentication using a password that is probably resistant to an offline dictionary attack. An offline dictionary attack is where an adversary attempts to determine a network password by trying possible passwords without further network interaction. ref: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless/catalyst-9800-series-wireless-controllers/220712-configure-and-verify-wi-fi-6e-wlan-layer.html SAE is for authentication in cisco.

B because ENCYPTION method not authentication

Answer A is wrong. B, C and D are used in WPA3 but AES is the only answer which refers to ENCRYPTION!

it´s B

SAE falls under authentication

Correct answer, B. don't confuse, WPA3 uses SAE as authentication method, but for encryption, both wpa2 and wpa3 use AES 256 source: https://tecnoblog.net/responde/o-que-e-wep-wpa-wpa2-wpa3-diferencas-protocolo-seguranca-wi-fi/

Chat GPT:Enhanced Encryption: WPA3 uses the more secure encryption protocol called "Simultaneous Authentication of Equals" (SAE), which is based on the Diffie-Hellman key exchange. This provides forward secrecy, meaning that even if an attacker captures encrypted Wi-Fi traffic, they cannot decrypt it later.

Answer: B Please do not spread wrong information. The below is from Wikipedia. WPA uses AES for its encryption. It replaces PSK with SAE for its authentication mechanism. WPA3 The new standard uses an equivalent 192-bit cryptographic strength in WPA3-Enterprise mode (AES-256 in GCM mode with SHA-384 as HMAC), and still mandates the use of CCMP-128 (AES-128 in CCM mode) as the minimum encryption algorithm in WPA3-Personal mode. The WPA3 standard also replaces the pre-shared key (PSK) exchange with Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) exchange, a method originally introduced with IEEE 802.11s, resulting in a more secure initial key exchange in personal mode and forward secrecy. The Wi-Fi Alliance also says that WPA3 will mitigate security issues posed by weak passwords and simplify the process of setting up devices with no display interface.

WPA3 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 3) primarily uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption method to secure wireless communications. AES is a strong and widely recognized encryption algorithm known for its security and efficiency. It is considered highly secure and is the recommended encryption method for modern Wi-Fi networks, including those protected by WPA3.

Thought Id add my AI 2 cents......Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) is a security protocol that protects wireless networks. SAE is a key exchange protocol used in WPA3, which enables devices to securely establish a shared secret key for encrypting wireless communications

Which encryption method is used by WPA3? A. TKIP B. AES C. SAE D. PSK ChatGPT The encryption method used by WPA3 is: C. SAE (Simultaneous Authentication of Equals) WPA3 uses the SAE (Simultaneous Authentication of Equals) protocol for key exchange and encryption. This protocol is based on the Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key exchange and provides stronger security compared to the older WPA and WPA2 protocols. It ensures forward secrecy, protecting the confidentiality of data even if an attacker captures encrypted traffic and later gains access to the network's pre-shared key. The answer is correct. please don't confuse people.

B. AES WPA3 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 3) primarily uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption method. AES is a strong and widely adopted encryption algorithm that provides secure and robust encryption for wireless communication. WPA3 improves the security of Wi-Fi networks by incorporating stronger encryption protocols, and AES is the recommended encryption algorithm for ensuring data confidentiality in WPA3. TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) was used in the earlier WPA and WPA2 security standards but is not used in WPA3 due to its known security vulnerabilities. SAE (Simultaneous Authentication of Equals) is the authentication method used in WPA3-Personal (WPA3-PKS) mode, but it is not the encryption method. PSK (Pre-Shared Key) refers to a method of authentication rather than encryption and is commonly used in WPA2-Personal mode.

i think WPA3 - SAE WPA3 Enterprise AES (WPA3 Enterprise, by default, uses a 128-bit AES-CCMP)

WPA3 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 3) uses the Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) algorithm, also known as Dragonfly, as its encryption method. SAE is a secure key exchange protocol that is resistant to offline dictionary attacks and protects against attacks on weaker passwords. This algorithm provides better security and protection against various types of attacks, such as brute-force and dictionary attacks, compared to the previous WPA2 standard which used the Pre-Shared Key (PSK) method.

WPA3 uses SAE (Simultaneous Authentication of Equals), which is a secure key exchange protocol that provides forward secrecy. It is also known as Dragonfly Key Exchange or Opportunistic Wireless Encryption (OWE). WPA3 also uses AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) for encryption of data. B is the encryption type, that's the question. NOT authentication type.
