0Which statement is correct about WPA?
Answer Options
A
WPA was released at the same time as WEP.
B
WPA was released as a fix for poor coverage.
C
WPA was released as a fix for poor encryption.
D
The Wi-Fi Alliance wanted to rebrand WEP with WPA.
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
After the weaknesses in WEP encryption were discovered, the Wi-Fi Alliance rushed the release of the WPA security protocol. The WPA security protocol incorporated the 802.11i standard of TKIP, which allowed for better integrity of 802.11 transmissions. The WPA security protocol was released after the WEP security protocol. The WPA security protocol did not address any problems related to coverage. It was not a rebranding of the WEP security protocol; it was intended to be a replacement.
