Which security protocol introduces vulnerabilities because the password is sent in plaintext and
can be intercepted and easily read?
A.
WEP
B.
EAP
C.
PAP
D.
CHAP
Explanation:
PAP transmits unencrypted ASCII passwords over the network and is therefore
considered insecure. It is used as a last resort when the remote server does not support a
stronger authentication protocol, like CHAP or EAP (the latter is actually a framework).
