The Wi-Fi Alliance officially launched the new Wi-Fi security standard WPA3, which will address all security issues known under existing security standards and will mitigate the impact of wireless attacks such as KRACK attacks and DEAUTH. The safety standard replaces the current WPA2, which will become the 'shield' for billions of devices. WPA3 will greatly enhance the device's configuration, encryption and authentication capabilities compared to current standards.
At present, there are many technology giants including Apple, Cisco, Intel, Qualcomm and Microsoft in the Wi-Fi Alliance. The original design of the WPA wireless security standard is to verify the wireless device and ensure the security of the link by using the AES advanced encryption protocol. To prevent hackers from invading.
The newly released security standard will replace WPA2, which is widely used today, with coverage of billions of devices. WPA3 has made key changes to Wi-Fi-enabled devices, greatly enhancing configuration, authentication and encryption.
Wi-Fi Alliance Chairman and CEO Edgar Figueroa said: 'In the ever-changing security arena, WPA3 will be the first to provide the most powerful protection. With WPA3 in the wireless field, we are also committed to this brand. . '
The WPA3 standard includes both personal and enterprise modes, and can also be applied to the Internet of Things.
Improvements brought about by the new standard include:
1. Protection against brute force attacks
WPA3 provides security against offline dictionary brute force, even if the user does not use a more complex password.
2. Forward encryption function
WPA3 has a strong forward encryption function, which can provide users with communication privacy even if the attacker successfully cracks the password.
3. Enhanced user privacy protection under Wi-Fi networks in public/open areas
WPA3 enhances user privacy protection in an open network environment through personalized data encryption. Communication between any device and Wi-Fi access point is encrypted, effectively preventing MitM attacks.
And by using OWE (OpportunisticWirelessEncryption) to prevent users from being eavesdropped by third parties, and providing each user with a separate encryption method to ensure the network channel security between the device and the Wi-Fi access point.
4. Enhance the protection of critical networks
For a similar network used by governments, financial institutions provide 192-bit encryption.
In addition, the Wi-Fi Alliance has released Wi-Fi Easy Connect, a new feature that simplifies the connection between IoT devices and wireless networks. This feature replaces the previous Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS). The latter has been repeatedly questioned during use. The new feature allows users to send new Wi-Fi certificates to new devices simply by scanning the QR code.
