Which feature allows enrollment into a wireless network through an eight-digit PIN?

• A. TKIP
• B. WPS
• C. SAE
• D. WEP

Answer: (B)

Wi-Fi Protected Setup enables enrollment into a wireless network using an eight-digit PIN. This feature is designed to simplify joining a secured network by allowing a device to authenticate and configure the connection simply by entering or providing that PIN, with an alternative push-button method also available in many implementations. The eight-digit code is specifically part of WPS’s PIN mode, which is why this option fits the scenario described. The other items are different security mechanisms, not enrollment methods. TKIP is an encryption protocol used with WPA to improve security over WEP; WEP is an older, insecure encryption standard; SAE is the WPA3 authentication method using a password-based handshake. So the eight-digit PIN enrollment matches WPS, not those others.
