CWNP CWSP-208 Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

Mutual authentication involves both the client and the authentication server verifying each other’s identity before network access is granted. This prevents attackers from spoofing an access point (AP) and luring clients to connect to rogue APs (often used in wireless hijacking or evil twin attacks). When mutual authentication (typically via 802.1X with EAP-TLS) is used, clients will not connect unless they can verify the server certificate, which thwarts hijacking attempts.

When compliance reporting and forensic analysis are required and the WLAN vendor’s centralized management system does not provide it, deploying a dedicated overlay WIPS is the most effective solution. Overlay WIPS uses dedicated sensors independent of the WLAN’s operational radios, offering detailed threat detection, compliance logging, and reporting capabilities that often surpass native WLAN features.

The Pairwise Transient Key (PTK) is derived during the 4-Way Handshake and is used to generate:

The EAPOL-Key Confirmation Key (KCK)

The EAPOL-Key Encryption Key (KEK)

The Temporal Key (TK), which encrypts unicast traffic

Incorrect:

A. The Group Master Key (GMK) is used to derive the GTK, not the PTK.

C. PTK is not XOR’d with the PSK—PTK is derived from PMK + other session parameters.

D. PMK is never encrypted or transmitted; it is pre-shared or derived and remains local.
