A network technician was hired to harden the security of a network. The technician is required to enable encryption and create a password for AP security through the web browser. Which of the following would BEST support these requirements?
WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) is a security protocol commonly used to secure wireless networks. It provides encryption and authentication for wireless access points (APs). With WPA2, you can enable encryption and create a password (also known as a pre-shared key) to secure the wireless network through the web browser. This helps protect the network from unauthorized access and eavesdropping.
The other options mentioned are not directly related to securing wireless access points or creating passwords for AP security:
A. ESP (Encapsulating Security Payload) is a protocol used in IPsec for packet-level encryption, but it's not used to configure AP security or set passwords.
C. IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) is a suite of protocols used for securing IP communications, typically used for securing data transmission between devices and networks rather than setting up Wi-Fi security.
D. ACL (Access Control List) is a set of rules used for controlling network access and filtering traffic but is not used for setting up Wi-Fi security or passwords for APs.
GPT selects (A):
"The option that would BEST support the requirements of enabling encryption and creating a password for AP security through a web browser is (B) WPA2.
WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) is a security protocol commonly used to encrypt wireless network traffic and secure access points. It provides encryption and authentication mechanisms to protect the confidentiality and integrity of data transmitted over the wireless network. WPA2 typically requires setting up a passphrase or password through a web browser interface to establish secure connections between devices and the access point.
Options (A) ESP and (C) IPSec are security protocols used for encrypting data at the IP layer for secure communication between network devices. Option (D) ACL (Access Control List) is a network security feature used to control which devices or traffic are allowed or denied access to network resources. While these options have their uses, they are not directly related to creating a password for AP security through a web browser as described in the scenario."
A. ESP - Encapsulating Security Payload (IPsec header)
B. WPA2 - encryption for wifi that is configured through browser
C. IPSec - for VPNs
D. ACL - access control list
IPSec works on the network layer and q is asking for web browser encryption that tells me transport and upper layers we need to look into which is wpa2 fits I think
