Windows 10 19H1 with WPA3! In June the Wi-Fi Alliance he said a new WI-FI encryption model, WPA3. The new version of Wireless Protected Access is allegedly resistant to brute-force attacks because it will block any certification request after a series of failed attempts.
The new standard will also implement forward secrecy, meaning that attackers who discover the code accessWIFI servers will not be able to decrypt the recorded traffic.
The standard also incorporates WI-FI Easy Connect, which will allow users να ρυθμίσουν τις επιλογές Wi-Fi WPA3 μιας συσκευής που δεν έχει οθόνη, όπως σε ένα έξυπνο διακόπτη ή μια έξυπνη τοστιέρα (Appliances IoT).
WPA3 is currently optional for devices to be released, but at some point it will become mandatory.
Not currently supported on Windows 10, but circulation of Windows 10 19H1 SDK by Microsoft includes a new API which seems to indicate that support for the new standard is coming soon.
The new API states:
namespace Windows.Networking.Connectivity {public enum NetworkAuthenticationType {Wpa3 = 10, Wpa3Sae = 11,}}
WPA3 is the enterprise version, while WPA3 SAE is the consumer version with simultaneous peer-to-peer authentication (SAE from Simultaneous Authentication of Equals), and will replace the shared key (PSK from Pre-shared Key) of WPA2-Personal.
WPA3 is interoperable with WPA2, so support will only be needed for devices that take safety very seriously.
For greater adoption of the new model, however, we will probably have to wait until the beginning of 2019 when it will be available to all users of the "fixed" version of Windows 10 19H1.
