A civic plaza SSID must encrypt public airtime and still force guests through an AUP page. Which statement is most accurate?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Encryption and the AUP gate solve different jobs: OWE covers the radio path; the portal covers the ‘agree to the rules’ gate. You can have both—privacy curtain plus turnstile—without picking only one.
Full Explanation
OWE addresses opportunistic encryption on open/public SSIDs, while captive portals address policy acceptance and session onboarding. The controls can coexist conceptually: encrypt the RF session and still present an AUP portal before authorizing broader access. Claiming mutual exclusivity, reverting to WEP, or treating a splash page as a substitute for encryption misunderstands layered public-access design.
