Which characteristic applies to wireless encryption?

Wireless encryption, particularly robust standards like WPA2/WPA3, incorporates integrity checks to ensure that transmitted frames have not been tampered with during transit. This mechanism, often using Message Integrity Code (MIC) or Cipher-based Message Authentication Code (CMAC), detects if any part of the frame has been altered, thus preventing frame forgery and replay attacks. While a password is used for authentication to connect to an access point, and authentication protocols secure the network, these are distinct functions from the integrity checks performed by encryption itself. Identifying an access point on a WLAN is typically done via its SSID, which is not a characteristic of encryption.
