Opportunistic Wireless Encryption (OWE) is

• A. A new VPN protocol
• B. A standard for wired ethernet encryption
• C. WPA3 feature encrypting all wireless traffic in open networks which ensures that the communication between each pair of endpoints is protected from other endpoints.
• D. A method of securing USB devices

Answer: (C)

Opportu nistic Wireless Encryption is a WPA3 feature that encrypts traffic on open Wi‑Fi networks, so the data between each client and the access point is protected from other devices on the same network. It achieves this without a password by establishing a temporary, per-connection session key, which keeps eavesdroppers from reading the traffic even though the network itself is open. This is specifically about wireless networks and encryption of wireless traffic; it is not a VPN protocol, not used for wired Ethernet, and not related to securing USB devices.
