A vendor claims per-user PSK gives the city the same security properties as WPA3-Enterprise 802.1X. What is the accurate distinction?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Unique PSKs tidy the Personal-mode mess, but they are still Personal-mode under the hood—not full Enterprise with RADIUS and EAP. Think better locker codes, not a badge-and-directory system. Marketing blurbs that equate the two oversell it.
Full Explanation
Per-user PSK solutions enhance Personal PSK deployments by unique keys and better lifecycle control, yet the AKM remains Personal rather than 802.1X Enterprise. Municipal designs that need certificate-based EAP, dynamic authorization, and RADIUS accounting still require Enterprise mode. Claims of equivalence to WPA3-Enterprise 192-bit or EAP-TLS are incorrect.
