WPA3, also known as
Wi-Fi Protected Access 3, is the third iteration of a security certification
program developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance. WPA3 is the latest, updated
implementation of WPA2, which has been in use since 2004.
The Wi-Fi Alliance
began to certify WPA3-approved products in 2018. WPA3 support will not be
automatically added to every device, but WPA3 devices will be
backwards-compatible with devices that use the WPA2 protocol. While WPA3 is
more secure and comprehensive than WPA2, the the Wi-Fi Alliance will still
support and update the WPA2 protocol for the foreseeable future.
WPA3 vs WPA2
When compared to the
WPA2 standard, WPA3 adds the following notable features:
- Individualized data encryption.
- Bigger session keys.
- Stronger brute force attack protection.
- Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) support.
- Device Provisioning Protocol (DPP) support.
