going to go with 1: 802.1x

 

7. WEP for me.

 

I'll go with number 1 here too.

 

Maybe I should wait on this but it's been over 12 hours and it's the middle of the night where most of your live. The correct answer is:

drumroll please...


6: WPAv2

1 is incorrect because 802.1x is used to pass EAP across networks that do not use the PPP protocol to provide authentication services.

2 is incorrect because L2T2 is a combination of Microsoft's PPTP tunneling protocol and Cisco's Layer 2 Forwarding.

3 and 4 are incorrect because CHAP versions 1 and 2 are authentication protocols that work with RAS servers on Microsoft networks.

5 is incorrect because while both WPA versions 1 and 2 use 802.1x and EAP, only WPAv2 uses AES as well as EAP.

7 is incorrect because only uses either 64 or 128 bit encryption.

8 is incorrect because SSL uses a private key to encrypt data that is transferred over the SSL connection. The HTTPS protocol uses SSL for security.

Hope this was a good question. It was taken right out of the 2005 objectives for the Network+ exam. More later.
