Which of the below security encryption standards is the weakest ?
Answer: D
The weakest standard is WEP.
Wired Equivalent Privacy (1997) uses the RC4 cipher with short, reused initialisation vectors, and its keys can be recovered within minutes with freely available tools. It is deprecated.
WPA (2003) was an interim fix, WPA2 (2004) introduced AES-based CCMP encryption, and WPA3 (2018) is the current and strongest standard.
Networks still using WEP or the original WPA should be moved to WPA2 or WPA3.
