A coffee shop wants to offer free Wi-Fi but also display a QR code on the menu so customers can join without typing a password. What Wi-Fi provisioning mechanism does scanning a Wi-Fi QR code use, and what is encoded in the QR code?
- A.A Wi-Fi QR code contains the AP's MAC address; the device uses 802.1X EAP-MD5 to authenticate using the MAC
- B.A Wi-Fi QR code contains the access point's WPS PIN, which the device uses to complete WPS PIN exchange
- C.A Wi-Fi QR code encodes a standardized string containing the SSID, security type (WPA/WEP/nopass), and password (e.g., WIFI:T:WPA;S:CoffeeShop;P:Welcome123;;) - the operating system parses this string and automatically connects without user typing
- D.A Wi-Fi QR code encodes a URL that opens a captive portal registration page where the user creates an account
Why C is correct
