WPA 3 IS COMING THIS 2018 WITH IMPROVED FEATURES AND SECURITY

For almost more than a decade there hasn't been improvement in the wifi securities and as a result there are ton of videos on YouTube on how to crack a wifi password.Even though wifi technology is widely used it hasn't been updated by the wifi alliance, but now WPA3 will replace the existing WPA2—the network security protocol that has been widely used by billions of wireless devices every day, including smartphones, laptops and Internet of things.

For those who are not aware what this is all about, Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) are two security protocols and security certification programs developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance to secure wireless computer networks.In simple words the protocol that you use while you set up a wifi password in your mobile phone.

may it be the wifi in our router,tv, or mobile phones,or any IOT devices WPA and WPA2 has not been updated for years, so the smartest people who we call Hackers take advantage of the wifi networks.

However, WPA2 has long been considered to be insecure due to its common security issue, that is "unencrypted" open Wi-Fi networks, which allows anyone on the same WiFi network to intercept connections on other devices.

The new standard of Wi-Fi security, which will be available for both personal and enterprise wireless devices later this year, offers improved security and privacy.

*WPA3 protocol strengthens user privacy in open networks through individualised data encryption.
*WPA3 protocol will also protect against brute-force dictionary attacks, preventing hackers from making multiple login attempts by using commonly used passwords.
*WPA3 protocol also offers simplified security for devices that often have no display for configuring security settings, i.e. IoT devices.
*Finally, there will be a 192-bit security suite for protecting WiFi users’ networks with higher security requirements, such as government, defence and industrial organisations.

But wifi security needs to be updated time to time to prevent the smart guys from taking over your Wifi Network. Because its kind of a competition between these two, and we should give it a thought the bad guys wont give Up then How can the good ones!
