Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which is the more robust Wi-Fi encryption?
A
WEP as it uses a 10-digit hex key
B
WPA2 as it keeps generating different keys each time data is transferred.
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -WPA3 is more secure and comprehensive than WPA2; however, the Wi-Fi Alliance still supports and updates the WPA2 protocol. WPA3’s notable features over WPA2 include the SAE protocol, individualized data encryption, bigger session keys and stronger brute force attack protection.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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-4: -WPA2 uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) which is also used by the U.S. government to protect classified documents. This is the strongest level of security you can provide for your home wifi network.

Detailed explanation-5: -WPA2-PSK (AES) is more secure than WPA2-PSK (TKIP), but WPA2-PSK (TKIP) can be used with older devices that are not WPA2-PSK (AES) enabled devices. When a user connects to the router, the user provides a password to authenticate their identity and, as long as the password matches, the user is connected to WLAN.
