A. AES-CCMP
B. CBC-MAC
C. AES-GCMP
D. WPA-TKIP

Answer 2

AES-GCMP (Advanced Encryption Standard - Galois/Counter Mode Protocol)

A faster and more secure encryption method than AES-CCMP. Used in WPA3 for better performance and stronger security. Protects against replay attacks, where attackers try to resend old data.
