Billy is installing a wireless access point at his home and he wants to encrypt and secure the data as strongly as possible. Which technology should he use?
  1. WEP
  2. WPA
  3. TLS
  4. WPA2
Explanation
Answer: D - WPA2 is the best technology for securing wireless communications.

Key Takeaway: WPA2, or Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2, is currently how wireless communications should be secured. WEP, or Wired Equivalent Privacy, should never be used as it has been demonstrated to be very easy to hack. TLS, or Transport Layer Security, is the successor to SSL in the TCP/IP suite, but has nothing to do with wireless security.
