Which feature allows enrollment in a wireless network using an eight-digit PIN?

• A. Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
• B. PEAP
• C. EAP-TLS
• D. PSK

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is a simple, user-friendly way to add a device to a wireless network using a numeric code. Wi-Fi Protected Setup provides a PIN-based enrollment option, where an eight-digit code is used to provision the network credentials to a client so it can join the network without manual configuration. This method is designed to streamline setup for consumer devices. PEAP and EAP-TLS are authentication frameworks used with 802.1X that rely on certificates or credentials, not a PIN entered to enroll a device, so they don’t fit the scenario of using an eight-digit PIN to enroll. PSK uses a pre-shared key for the network, which is a static password shared among devices and also does not involve an enrollment PIN.
