A network administrator is designing a new wireless network and wants to implement the highest level of security to protect against offline dictionary attacks, which are a known risk with traditional pre-shared keys. Which wireless security protocol should the administrator choose to meet this requirement?
WEP
WPA2
WPA3
WPA
WPA3 is the correct choice because it introduces Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE), which replaces the Pre-Shared Key (PSK) method used in WPA and WPA2. SAE is specifically designed to protect against offline dictionary attacks by creating a unique session key for each connection, making it impossible for an attacker to guess the password by analyzing captured traffic. WPA2 and WPA use PSK, which is vulnerable to these types of attacks. WEP is an obsolete and highly insecure protocol that should never be used.
