Windows 10 19H1 with WPA3! In June Wi-Fi Alliance he said a new WI-FI encryption standard, WPA3. THE new edition of Wireless Protected Access is said to be resistant to brute-force attacks because it will block any authentication request after a series of failed attempts.
The new standard will also implement forward secrecy, meaning that attackers who discover the code access of WIFI will not be able to decrypt the recorded traffic.
The standard also incorporates WI-FI Easy Connect, which will allow users to configure the Wi-Fi WPA3 options of a non-screen device such as a smart switch or a smart toaster (IoT devices).
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 the Windows 10 19H1 SDK from Microsoft includes a new API that appears to indicate that support for the new template will come soon.
The new API states:
namespace Windows.Networking.Connectivity {public enum NetworkAuthenticationType {Wpa3 = 10, Wpa3Sae = 11,}}
Το WPA3 είναι η εταιρική version, ενώ το WPA3 SAE είναι η έκδοση καταναλωτών με ταυτόχρονο έλεγχο ταυτότητας ομότιμων (SAE από το Simultaneous Authentication of Equals), και θα αντικαταστήσει το 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.
