Correct answer: WPA2 uses 128-bit key encryption, and WPA3 supports 128-bit and 192-bit key encryption., WPA3 uses SAE for stronger protection than WPA2, which uses AES..
Why this is the answer
WPA2 primarily uses 128-bit AES encryption. WPA3 enhances this by supporting both 128-bit AES (for WPA3-Personal) and 192-bit AES (for WPA3-Enterprise, often called "Suite B") for stronger security, making the third option correct. WPA3 also introduces Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) as a more robust key exchange mechanism, replacing the Pre-Shared Key (PSK) exchange used in WPA2. SAE provides stronger protection against offline dictionary attacks, making the fourth option correct. The first option is incorrect because WPA2 does not use 192-bit encryption as its standard. The second and fifth options incorrectly state that WPA2 uses SAE or TKIP as its primary encryption; WPA2 primarily uses AES. While WPA2 can fall back to TKIP for backward compatibility, AES is its standard and preferred encryption.
