Which statement correctly describes encryption in wireless networks?

Encryption in wireless networks, such as Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2/WPA3), primarily prevents unauthorized interception and eavesdropping of data as it travels over the airwaves. By scrambling the data, it ensures that even if an attacker captures the wireless packets, they cannot easily read the content without the correct decryption key. Incorrect options: Increased protection against spyware: While a secure network is part of overall security, encryption itself doesn't directly protect against spyware, which typically infects endpoints through other means. Requires users to enter a login ID: This describes authentication, not encryption. While often used together, they are distinct security mechanisms. Uses ciphers to detect and prevent zero-day network attacks: Encryption uses ciphers to scramble data, not to detect or prevent unknown (zero-day) attacks. Intrusion detection/prevention systems handle that.
