WPA3 comes to replace the unsafe WPA2

Η Wi-Fi Alliance announcement, which are various device makers, such as Apple, Microsoft and Qualcomm, announced Monday the next-generation WPA3 wireless security standard.

The standard will replace WPA2, a security protocol that almost exists decades and is built in to protect almost every wireless device today, such as , laptops, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices.WPA3

One of the key improvements to WPA3 is solving a common security problem: open Wi-Fi networks. ΤOpen Wi-Fi networks at cafes and airports are very convenient but unencrypted, allowing anyone on the same network to monitor data sent from other devices.

WPA3 uses a very personalized data encryption, which scrambles the connection between every device on the network and the router, ensuring that the data in circulation is kept safe and that the sites you visit have not undergone any malicious processing.

Another key improvement in WPA3 comes to protect against attacks , making it much more difficult for attackers close to your Wi-Fi network to try lists of possible passwords.

The new wireless security protocol will prevent any intruder from having some failed password speculation.

The WPA2, a wireless security standard that runs from 2004, uses a handshake (4-way) to allow new devices that have the password to join a network.

The newer WPA3 will use a new kind of handshake that will not be vulnerable to attacks brute-force that use random password lists.

The new WPA3 security standard is expected to be released later this year.
