I feel like pre-shared keys and open systems are too weak for this scenario, but I can't recall the exact reasons why.

I practiced a similar question where EAP-TLS was the best option for secure authentication, so I’m leaning towards that.

I think PEAP-MS-CHAP is more common for wireless networks, but it doesn't specifically mention smart cards, right?

The question mentions the company has a Windows Active Directory network, so EAP-TLS is probably the way to go since it integrates well with that environment.

Okay, the key here is that the company's security policy requires smart card authentication. That narrows it down to either EAP-TLS or PEAP-MS-CHAP.
