Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which is the most unreliable wireless encryption protocol?
A
PEAP
B
WPA
C
WPA-2
D
WEP
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The WPA Wi-Fi protocol is more secure than WEP, because it uses a 256-bit key for encryption, which is a major upgrade from the 64-bit and 128-bit keys used by the WEP system.

Detailed explanation-2: -WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, and WPA stands for Wireless Protected Access. WPA2 is the second version of the WPA standard. Using some encryption is always better than using none, but WEP is the least secure of these standards, and you should not use it if you can avoid it.

Detailed explanation-3: -Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) used to be the standard form of encryption, but it’s no longer secure, because computing power has improved and hackers can now crack it easily. WEP security encrypts with a static key-one of the biggest reasons it’s no longer considered secure.

Detailed explanation-4: -Encryption Speed WPA2 is the fastest of the security protocols, while WEP is the slowest.
