Correct answer & explanation
WPA: TKIP with PSK or 802.1X
WPA uses TKIP with PSK or 802.1X; WPA2 uses CCMP (AES) with PSK or 802.1X; WPA3 uses GCMP-256 with SAE or 802.1X; WPA2-Personal uses PSK; WPA3-Enterprise uses 802.1X with GCMP-256.
Quick reference
| Protocol | Port(s) | Encryption | Transport | Primary Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RADIUS | 1812 / 1813 | Password only | UDP | Network access control |
| TACACS+ | 49 | Full packet | TCP | Device administration |
| Diameter | 3868 | Full session | TCP / SCTP | Carrier / mobile networks |
| 802.1X | — | EAP-based | Layer 2 | Port-based access control |
TACACS+ encrypts the entire packet; RADIUS only encrypts the password field — a key exam distinction.
