Wi-Fi Alliance Introduces Wi-Fi CERTIFIED WPA3 Security

WI-FI Alliance On Monday Announced New Wi-Fi Security Protocol WPA3 Next Generation OF WPA WI-FI Security Protocol It Enhance Wi-Fi Protections In Personal and Enterprise Networks.Building on The Widespread Adoption of WPA2 Over More Than A Decade.

WPA3 Adds New Features To Simplify Wi-Fi Security,Enable More Robust And Authentication,And Delivers Increased Cryptographic Strength for Highly Sensitive Data Markets. As the Wi-Fi Industry Transitions to WPA3 Security, WPA2 Devices Will Continue to Interoperate And Provide Recognized Security.

WPA3 Security Continues to Support the Market Through Two Modes of Operation.WPA3-Personal and WPA3-Enterprise. All WPA3 Networks Use the Latest Security Methods, Disallow Outdated Legacy Protocols, And Require Use of Protected Management Frames (PMF) to Maintain Resiliency of Mission Critical Networks

WPA3-Personal includes More Resilien Password-Based Authentication Despite The Usage of Non-Complex Combinations.This is Made Possible With The Help of Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE), Which Is A Secure Key Establishment Protocol That Provides Protection Against Password Guessing Attempts.

WPA3 Will Offer 192-bit Cryptographic Strength for Additional Protection.The 192-bit Security Suite Ensures a Consistent Combination of Cryptographic Tools Are Deployed Across WPA3 Networks

Wi-Fi Alliance also introduced Easy Connect, a program that allows Wi-Fi devices with small screens or no display at all to connect while keeping up with the WPA3 security standards. Wi-Fi Easy Connect will simply allow users to connect the IoT device by scanning a QR code

According To Wi-fi Alliance Blog Post "Industry support for WPA3 and Wi-Fi Easy Connect".

“As Wi-Fi evolves to deliver more value in an ever expanding array of use cases, it’s important that security evolves too. WPA3’s new features, such as improved password based authentication and stronger encryption, will further simplify and strengthen how consumers and businesses connect to the Internet every day.” – Vijay Nagarajan, senior director of marketing for Wireless Communications and Connectivity division at Broadcom

Cisco is in full support of Wi-Fi Alliance’s continual focus on security evolution to WPA3. The WPA3 program will bring much needed upgrades to wireless security protecting all levels of customers from consumer to enterprise/government. Cisco is committed to integrating WPA3 features into our Aironet Access Points and Wireless Controllers via a firmware upgrade so that our existing and new customers can take advantage of the capabilities offered by WPA3. - Greg Dorai, Vice President Cisco WLAN, Cisco

“WPA3 is another milestone for the Wi-Fi industry, the extreme high throughput and enhanced security delivered by Wi-Fi will provide an excellent end-user experience in both consumer and enterprise markets. We are pleased to see Wi-Fi to continue to enable the digital transformation in many sectors and businesses.” – Dr. Wen Tong, Huawei Fellow, CTO, Huawei Wireless

“WPA3 brings critical updates to Wi-Fi security for personal and enterprise networks. Intel supports WPA3 and through our involvement in the test bed, we are helping our customers incorporate WPA3 into their products for enhanced security protections.” – Eric Mclaughlin – GM, CCG Wireless, Intel

“Qualcomm Technologies is committed to safeguarding the trust that millions of users and businesses put in Wi-Fi every day. We are proud to be among the first companies to support WPA3 across our portfolio of mobile and networking infrastructure products, and we are working closely with Wi-Fi Alliance and key stakeholders to accelerate its adoption throughout all major industries and ecosystems that rely on Wi-Fi.” – said Rahul Patel, senior vice president and general manager, connectivity and networking, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. 

This All Statements Indicates That All Major Company Supports WPA3 Protocol
