Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of these protocols is most secure?
A
WEP
B
WAP
C
WPA
D
WPA2
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -As the most up-to-date wireless encryption protocol, WPA3 is the most secure choice. Some wireless APs do not support WPA3, however. In that case, the next best option is WPA2, which is widely deployed in the enterprise space today.

Detailed explanation-2: -The best Wi-Fi security option for your router is WPA2-AES. You might see WPA2-TKIP as an option, but it’s not as secure. WPA2-TKIP is, however, the second-most secure-followed by WPA, and then WEP.

Detailed explanation-3: -While WPA-PSK uses software security, WPA2-PSK uses hardware security module. WPA2-PSK employs the latest security technology WPA2 in addition to either TKIP or AES encryption, while WPA-PSK only supports the TKIP encryption. With lengthier passwords than WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK is more secure.

Detailed explanation-4: -WPA2-PSK (AES): This is the most secure option. It uses WPA2, the latest Wi-Fi encryption standard, and the latest AES encryption protocol. You should be using this option. On some devices, you’ll just see the option “WPA2” or “WPA2-PSK.” If you do, it will probably just use AES, as that’s a common-sense choice.

Detailed explanation-5: -WPA2 is a security standard for wireless networks based on the Advanced Encryption Standard technology (AES). It is used with the IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n and 802.11ac WiFi standards, encrypting data in order to prevent unauthorized access.
