Hello everyone,

So I just read this article that the WPA 3 protocol has finally been developed by WiFi-Alliance. It took almost 15 years but it's there.

WPA2 has been vulnerable to various attacks like:

• Various online open wifi networks exploits
  
• The very recent KRACK (Key Reinstallation Attack)
  

WPA3 offers various security protocols, which I will list below (only a part possibly):

• 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.
  

Of course, over time new exploits will be found, that's why  Joe Hoffman (SAR Insight & Consulting) said:

Wi-Fi security technologies may live for decades, so it’s important they are continually updated to ensure they meet the needs of the Wi-Fi industry

Since hardware must get certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance to use WPA3 security protocol, the new security standard won't arrive overnight.

In my opinion, this is a good thing that it's created and it will certainly improve security for businesses and personal use. Of course this will take some time to get devices certified for the new protocol. Will this be the end of WiFi cracking? I highly doubt so. Over time people will be able to crack it and they'll have to move over to another protocol.

Let me know what you guys think.

TL;DR: WPA3 developed, thoughts?
