Exam SY0-501 topic 1 question 54 discussion

A. Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) allows users to configure a wireless network without typing in the passphrase. It tries to make connections between a router and wireless devices faster and easier. WPS works only for wireless networks that use a password that is encrypted with the WPA Personal or WPA2 Personal security protocols.

Security+, where you get questions showing you people using the least secure methods possible.

WPS because it should no longer be used

I’m more concerned about the questions it being grammatically correct. Which of the following should be implemented in the administrator does not want to provide the wireless password or he certificate to the employees?

Technically WPS is the right choice but its such a bad idea.

This question answer does not have sense. Passphrase to WPA2 is sent during WPS and can be read on the client PC. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4023501/windows-find-wireless-network-password So this question does not make sense. One of the possibility could be 802.1x with EAP-GTC one-time-passwords https://documentation.meraki.com/zGeneral_Administration/Other_Topics/PEAPv1%2F%2FEAP-GTC_support_on_a_Windows_client

a.Technically 802 requires sharing a cert. b. The question specifies "simplify" which 802 does not do c. Although WPS is 'insecure' it fits better as an answer in this situation. Even though IRL it's a dumb idea for most situations, for a small office...it might be ok.

WPS is not secure though

WPS is an obsolete technology that should not ever be implemented IRL.
