On June 26, the Wi-Fi Alliance officially launched the WPA3 security encryption protocol today and started the certification work.
WP3 wants to replace the old WPA2. I believe that many users who have configured a wireless router have seen this string of characters when they set up Wi-Fi passwords. WPA2 has been available for 14 years. Its main problem is that it has been confirmed by hackers that KRACK is available. Cracked.
To this end, WPA3 has been upgraded in all directions, including increasing the strength of cipher suites from AES 128bit to 192bit, which can allocate different keys for devices, enhancing data privacy after devices connect public Wi-Fi, and preventing brute-force cracking.
Of course, the popularity and application of WPA3 requires a process The first is the router end. You may want to buy new wireless routers that support WPA3 or look for vendors to upgrade the firmware. Secondly, the mobile phone/tablet is also supported at the chip level. For example, the Xiaolong 845 can.
Since WPA3 is not a mandatory specification, the Wi-Fi Alliance expects that there will be large-scale products next year. Including the use of the next-generation Wi-Fi standard 802.11ax Dongfeng one in-depth field.
