WPA3 will increase users’ privacy when they connect to open Wi-Fi networks (such as those in cafes, restaurants, etc.) by introducing individualized data encryption.
Higher security standard
The future Wi-Fi security protocol will introduce a 192-bit security suite for increased protection; the 192-bitis a security requirement used by governments and big industrial organization.
Protection on IoT devices
Wi-Fi Alliance, which is composed of 15 major tech companies (including Apple, Cisco, Dell, Intel, Microsoft, Qualcomm and more) stated that WPA3 will also offer smoother security for IoT devices.
New handshake protocol
WPA3 standard will use a new handshake protocol, which will be far less vulnerable to dictionary attacks (the method hackers use of exhausting all possible password possibilities).
Transition from WPA2 to WPA3 could take a while
WPA3 won’t come into force until in a few months. Meanwhile, Wi-Fi Alliance said it will continue to optimize WPA2 since it was the target of severe attacks.
Regardless of WPA2 or WPA3, you should always secure your Wi-Fi network with the help of a VPN, simply to supplement the protection of your data
