Compared with a single shared PSK on the utilities field SSID, what security property does Enterprise AKM add when linemen authenticate with unique credentials?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Shared PSK is one house key on a nail by the door—anyone with the nail is “the utility.” Enterprise AKM badges each lineman first, then mints keys tied to that successful identity. Revocation and accountability finally mean something.
Full Explanation
Enterprise AKM (802.1X/EAP) authenticates a user or device and establishes PMK material tied to that authentication before the 4-way handshake derives session keys. That identity binding contrasts with a shared Personal PSK that any holder can use. Enterprise mode does not eliminate PTK derivation, mandate open cleartext SSIDs, or revert to WEP.
