WiFi security is finally being upgraded after 14 years. The Wi-Fi Alliance yesterday officially unveiled WPA3, the new WiFi standard that promises to address many of the vulnerabilities in wireless networking.
The Wi-Fi Alliance, which is a partnership of companies consisting of various device manufacturers, such as Apple, Microsoft and Qualcomm, presented yesterday in a relevant announcement on its website, the mode of operation and security of the new expected WP3 protocol.
According to its writings, the new WPA3 brings personalized data encryption which will protect your data from being tracked over the WiFi network. You'll also have tighter connections, through SAE (Simultaneous Authentication of Equals), which is a key setup protocol that reduces the chances of someone guessing your password – even if it's a simple one.
Εάν χρησιμοποιήσετε την επαγγελματική ασφάλεια WPA3-Enterprise, θα έχετε μία παρόμοια ισχύ κρυπτογράφησης με τα 192-bit, που θα πρέπει να κάνει πιο δύσκολη τη διάσπαση ασφαλών δεδομένων. Θα υπάρχει επίσης και μία ευκολότερη ρύθμιση, για έξυπνες οικιακές συσκευές, μέσω του Easy Connect, το οποίο θα σας επιτρέπει να χρησιμοποιείτε το τηλέφωνό σας για να ρυθμίσετε τις WiFi συσκευές σας που έχουν είτε μικρή screen or no screen at all.
For when will you see WPA3 on your devices depends on the manufacturers Companies and by when they will introduce WP3 through updates or hardware replacement. WPA2 won't stop working anytime soon (it will remain interoperable), but the support WPA3 will eventually become mandatory on any product certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance, and the device will most likely come configured with WPA3 as the default.
