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

That makes sense, the station needs to connect to the network before encrypting the challenge text.

Wait, did they say the AP sends a challenge text? I thought the station initiated the connection. This is gonna be a mind-bender.

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.

I disagree, I believe the correct sequence is D) 4-->5->3->2-->1 because the AP needs to decrypt the encrypted text before comparing it with the original challenge text.
