What statements are true about 802.11-2012 Protected Management Frames? (Choose 2)
A.
802.11w frame protection protects against some Layer 2 denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, but it cannot prevent all types of Layer 2 DoS attacks.
B.
When frame protection is in use, the PHY preamble and header as well as the MAC header are encrypted with 256- or 512-bit AES.
C.
Authentication, association, and acknowledgment frames are protected if management frame protection is enabled, but deauthentication and disassociation frames are not.
D.
Management frame protection protects disassociation and deauthentication frames.
The Answer Is:
A, D
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
A. 802.11w (now part of 802.11-2012) introduces protection for management frames, especially disassociation and deauthentication frames, helping prevent spoofing-based DoS attacks. However, it cannot prevent all types of Layer 2 DoS (e.g., RF jamming).
D. Specifically, 802.11w protects disassociation and deauthentication frames by signing them with cryptographic keys.
Incorrect:
B. The MAC header and PHY preamble are not encrypted under any standard.
C. Authentication and association frames are not protected by 802.11w; only certain management frames are.
