In the section we will talk about wireless security protocols
wireless security is extremely important.
Guys the West majority of us connect a mobile device to Iraq or at some point during each day can be
a smartphone.
You know everyone has tablets laptops or otherwise.
Furthermore Internet of Things devices connect to Internet using Wi-Fi anymore.
They are always on and always listening and always in dire need of additional security.
That is where Wi-Fi encryption steps in.
There are several different ways to protect our Wi-Fi connection.
But how do you know which Wi-Fi security stand that is the best.
So here is how let's start with the WPA.
The most common Wi-Fi securities types are WPA wpa 2 and WPA 3 which is quite new for the time.
The 800 to that eleven I wireless security standard was in development WPA was used as a temporary security
enhancement for vet one year before vet was officially abandoned WPA was formally adopted most modern
WPA applications use appreciate key.
Most often referred to as WPA personnel and the temporal K integrity protocol or T.K. IP for encryption
WPA enterprise uses and authentication server for keys and certificates.
Generation WPA was a significant enhancement over over rap but as the core components were made so they
could be rolled out through firmware upgrades on web enabled devices they still relied on to exploit
the elements WPA just like rap.
After being put through proof of concept and applied public dance demonstrations turned out to be pretty
vulnerable to intrusions.
The attacks that pose the most threat to the protocol were however not the direct ones but those that
were made on Wi-Fi protected setup auxiliary system.
There will opt to simplify the linking of devices to more than access points.
Let's go ahead with the WPA dash to the 800 to that.
Eleven I viral securities tender based protocol was introduced in 2000 and four guys and the most important
improvement of WPA to over WPA was the usage of advanced anchor options.
Then there to a E S A S is approved by U.S. government to encrypting the information classified as top
secret so it must be good enough to protect home networks at this time.
The main vulnerability to WPA to system is when attacker already has access to a secured Wi-Fi network
and can gang and can gain access to certain keys to perform an attack on other devices on the network.
This being said the security suggestions for the known WPA two vulnerabilities are mostly significant
to the networks of enterprise levels and not really relevant for small home networks unfortunately the
possibility of attacks via the Wi-Fi protected set up WP as is still high in the current WPA to keep
people access points which is the issue with WPA.
As I explained to you and even even though breaking into a WPA WPA to secure networks through this hole
will take anywhere from two to 14 hours it is still really a security issue on and a WPA should be disabled
and it will be good for you if the access point for me could be reset to a distribution not supporting
Derby appears to entirely exclude this attack.

Thirdly we will take a look at the WPA 3 now protecting Wi-Fi from hackers is one of the most important
tasks in cyber security guys and which is why the arrival of next generation wireless security protocol
WPA 3 deserves our attention so and not only is it going to keep Wi-Fi connections safer but also it
will help save you from your own security shortcomings.
Here is what it offers.
Actually guys.
Most importantly it's offering a password protection.
Let's start with how WPA 3 will protect you at home.
Specifically it will mitigate the damage that might stem from your lazy password skies a fundamental
weakness of WPA to the current wireless security protocol that makes to 2004 is that it lets hackers
deploy a so-called off line dictionary attack to guess your your password.
An attacker can take as many shots as they want to and guessing your credentials without being on the
same network.
Cycling through the entire dictionary and beyond in relatively short order.
The other benefit comes in the event that your password gets compromised.
Now tell us what this new handshake WPA three supports forward secrecy meaning that any traffic that
came across your transom before an outsider gained access will remain encrypted and with WPA to they
can decrypt the old traffic as well.
And also WPA 3 provide safer connections skies when wpa 2 came along in 2000 and for the Internet of
Things had not been yet become anything close to the all consuming security horror that it is present
day homework.
No wonder then the WPA offered no streamlined way to safely onboard these devices to an existing Wi-Fi
network and in fact the predominant method by which that process happens today Wi-Fi protected set up
has had known vulnerabilities since 2000 and eleven and WPA 3 provides affects Wi-Fi easy connect as
the Wi-Fi Alliance calls it makes it easier to get wireless devices that have no screen or input mechanism
onto your network when enabled you will simply use your smartphone to scan a QR code on your rather
than scan a QR code on your printer or speaker or other I or t device and you are sad and they are securely
connected with the QR code code.
Me too.
You are using public key based encryption to onboard devices that currently largely lack a simple secure
method to do so.
That trend plays out also with Wi-Fi enhanced open which the Wi-Fi Alliance detailed a few weeks before.
