Pre-shared key? No way, that’s not secure enough for this setup!

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

I practiced a similar question where EAP-TLS was the right answer for secure wireless access. I hope that's the case here too!

I remember studying that EAP-TLS is the best option for smart card authentication, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the only one we can use.
