Isn't 128-bit key encryption a bit outdated now?

I’m pretty certain the AP checks the decrypted text against the original challenge, but I’m confused about when the station connects in the sequence.

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like the challenge text has to come before the station sends anything back.

I think the station needs to send the authentication frame after encrypting the challenge, but I can't recall if it happens before or after connecting.

This seems like a straightforward troubleshooting question. I'd start by checking the script configuration and the DataRaptor configuration, as those are the most likely culprits for an APEX CPU limit exceeded error.

I wonder if the answer involves a secret handshake or a decoder ring. This is like a puzzle within a puzzle!

And finally, the AP decrypts the text using its key and compares it with the original challenge text.

Exactly, then it encrypts the text and sends it to the AP for authentication.

That's a good point, Fernanda. I see your rationale. It's important for the AP to decrypt the text first to ensure a secure connection.
