ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question
Your organization's security policy requires that the new corporate Wi-Fi deployment provide certificate-based mutual authentication, automatically generate a unique encryption key for each user session, and continue using AES-CCMP because of legacy handheld scanners. Which combination of Wi-Fi security mode and EAP method BEST satisfies these requirements?
WPA2-Enterprise using PEAP-MSCHAPv2
WPA2-Enterprise using EAP-TLS
WPA3-Personal using Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE)
WPA2-Enterprise operates with 802.1X to negotiate per-session keys and relies on AES-CCMP for data confidentiality. When it is paired with EAP-TLS, both the client and the authentication server present X.509 certificates, giving true mutual authentication while eliminating shared passwords. PEAP-MSCHAPv2 still depends on user passwords and is susceptible to offline cracking. WPA3-Personal with SAE delivers forward secrecy but is a pre-shared key solution and does not use 802.1X, so it cannot provide per-user credentials. WPA3-Enterprise (192-bit) replaces CCMP with GCMP-256, which the legacy scanners cannot support. Therefore, WPA2-Enterprise with EAP-TLS is the only option that meets all stated requirements.
