Wi-Fi WPA3 certificate with boosted security for home, enterprise announced
The WPA3
security certificate adds new features to simplify Wi-Fi security, enable more
robust authentication and deliver increased cryptographic strength for highly
sensitive data markets
Technology News:
Wi-Fi
Alliance, a network of companies that issues certificates for wireless
fidelity, on June 25 introduced the WPA3 certificate. The successor to the WPA2
Wi-Fi security protocols announced in 2004, the WPA3 certificate was announced
after more than a decade. However, the new certificate brings fixes to known
security loopholes, along with interoperability for enhanced Wi-Fi security at
places like home, restaurants, stadiums, enterprise set-ups etc.
The WPA3 security certificate adds new
features to simplify Wi-Fi security, enable more robust authentication and
deliver increased cryptographic strength for highly sensitive data markets. As
for the transition of the Wi-Fi industry to WPA3 security, the WPA2 devices
will continue to interoperate and provide recognised security. Like WPA2, the
WPA3 security will be available in two distinct modes -- personal and
enterprise.
WPA3
Personal:
More resilient, password-based authentication even when users choose passwords
that fall short of typical complexity recommendations. WPA3 leverages
Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE), a secure key establishment
protocol between devices, to provide stronger protections for users against
password guessing attempts by third parties.
WPA3
Enterprise: Offers the equivalent of 192-bit cryptographic strength,
providing additional protections for networks transmitting sensitive data, such
as government or finance. The 192-bit security suite ensures a consistent
combination of cryptographic tools is deployed across WPA3 networks.
