Wireless security standards are a frequent source of exam questions, and this episode breaks down the differences between key protocols. We start with WPA2 and WPA3, explaining how each provides encryption and authentication for wireless traffic, and why WPA3 is considered more secure with protections like forward secrecy and better brute-force resistance. We then contrast older protocols like WEP and TKIP, explaining why they are no longer recommended for use.

We finish with AES—the Advanced Encryption Standard—used in both WPA2 and WPA3, and how it differs from older, less secure algorithms. You’ll learn how to interpret exam questions that involve wireless router settings, and how to recommend appropriate configurations based on risk and environment.
