WPA3 uses what type of keys?

• A. Static
• B. Dynamic
• C. Hybrid
• D. Rotating

Answer: (B)

WPA3 uses keys that are created for each connection rather than relying on a single static key. The authentication and key exchange in WPA3 (through SAE) establish a fresh, shared secret for every association and then derive new encryption keys from that secret for that session. This means the actual session keys change with each handshake and aren’t the same as the pre-shared password or any key used in a prior session, providing forward secrecy and stronger protection even if the password is weak or later compromised.

Static keys would imply the same key is reused across sessions, which is less secure. The idea of rotating keys during a single session isn’t how WPA3 typically operates—the standard ensures new keys per connection via the handshake, not just periodic intra-session rotation. Hybrid doesn’t describe the WPA3 approach here.
