You are the systems administrator at a private school that provides students with laptop computers that they use for school work. These laptop computers are equipped with wireless network cards that are used to connect to access points located in classrooms, in the library, and in special study areas. When in class, the library, or the study areas, students log on to the PVTSCHOOL domain. Students log in by using a user name and password combination. The wireless network has been configured with WEP in addition to 802.1x. Which of the following extensible authentication protocol types will provide the best level of security for the kind of authentication used at the private school? VCP-310  350-030  642-426  642-164 

1. EAP-TLS

2. MD5

3. PEAP

4. PAP

   Correct Answers: C

   1. Incorrect This protocol is used for authentication with certificates, generally smart cards. This protocol is not suited for password-based authentication.

   2. Incorrect Although MD5 can be used for password authentication, it is not as strong as PEAP, which provides the strongest password-based authentication for WEP with 802.1X.

   3. Correct PEAP provides the strongest password-based authentication for a WEP solution with 802.1X.

   4. Incorrect PAP cannot be used for authentication with a WEP solution with 802.1X.   642-901   642-845   n10-003  642-436
