In a wireless network, which encryption standard provides the highest security?

WEP
WPA
WPA2
None

The correct answer is: WPA2

WPA2 provides the highest security among the listed encryption standards for wireless networks. It employs the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) protocol, which is significantly stronger than the encryption techniques used in earlier standards such as WEP and WPA. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is considered outdated and vulnerable to various attacks due to its weak security measures and inadequate key management. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) was an improvement over WEP, incorporating TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) for added security, but it still does not match the robustness of WPA2. WPA2, by using AES, offers enhanced protection against unauthorized access and eavesdropping. The introduction of WPA3 has brought even more advancements, but as of the question's context, WPA2 remains the most secure option.
