An organization is making enhancements to its wireless network to bolster security against emerging threats. Which feature should be implemented to provide robust defenses against attempts to compromise the handshake process used during wireless authentication?
You selected this option
Enable a feature to achieve faster authentication times for users connecting to wireless access points.
You selected this option
Introduce a protocol that maximizes data throughput for high-density wireless environments.
You selected this option
Implement a framework that replaces the Pre-Shared Key exchange with a handshake providing forward secrecy.
You selected this option
Implement an updated protocol to increase wireless coverage area
One of the main improvements introduced with the new wireless security protocol is the utilization of a more secure handshake process known as Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE). This mechanism strengthens the network against attempts by unauthorized parties to decipher the handshake messages, and thereby it provides protection against offline brute force attacks that were a concern in the previous protocol version.
While increased wireless coverage is a desired feature, it is not directly associated with the improved security measures in the wireless authentication process. Similarly, faster authentication times and enhanced data throughput are benefits that may be observed with newer technology implementations but do not specifically address handshake security enhancements.
