Wi-Fi Alliance finalizes WPA3 security standard

Yordan, 26 June 2018

WiFi security is taking a major step forward as the next-gen standard WPA3 was introduced by Wi-Fi Alliance. It is an upgrade over the WPA2, presented over a decade ago with simplified security, more robust authentication and increased strength for highly sensitive data markets.

The WPA3 security method will continue to support two modes - WPA3-Personal and WPA3-Enterprise. The latter will introduce Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) protocol to make it harder for others to guess the password, while the former will offer 192-bit cryptographic strength for additional protection.

Wi-Fi Alliance also introduced Easy Connect, a program that allows Wi-Fi devices with small screens or no display at all to connect while keeping up with the WPA3 security standards. Wi-Fi Easy Connect will simply allow users to connect the IoT device by scanning a QR code.

This is a poisonous opinion, not to try to change things, but accept them. It's like never fix anything electric, because you might get shocked! NO! you can just install fuses and switch them off!

If you guys so afraid of spying, better don’t use Internet. Stay savage permanently.
