Which technology was primarily introduced to enhance encryption capabilities by providing more robust protection against offline dictionary attacks compared to its predecessors?
WPA3 was introduced to provide enhanced encryption capabilities over the earlier WPA2 protocol. One of its key enhancements is the use of Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE), which replaces the Pre-shared Key (PSK) in WPA2. SAE is specifically designed to provide more robust protection against offline dictionary attacks. The other options, while related to network security, do not specifically address the issue of enhancing encryption to protect against these types of attacks. WPA2, although a solid security protocol, is less effective against offline dictionary attacks compared to WPA3.
