Wi-Fi Alliance Updates Security Program

The Wi-Fi Alliance is introducing a new generation of Wi-Fi security, Wi-Fi Protected Access 3 (WPA3), replacing WPA2. “WPA3 adds new features to simplify Wi-Fi security, enable more robust authentication, and deliver increased cryptographic strength for highly sensitive data markets,” the alliance said. Devices containing the old technology will continue to provide “recognized security” as WPA3 is deployed, it said Monday.
