Introduction to WPA3

• From Basic to Advanced Understanding


• Your Name / Organization
What is WPA3?
• WPA3 stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access 3.
• It is the latest security protocol for Wi-Fi
networks.
• Introduced in 2018 by the Wi-Fi Alliance.
Why Was WPA3 Introduced?
• WPA2 had security vulnerabilities.
• Increasing cyber threats require stronger
protection.
• WPA3 enhances security for personal and
enterprise networks.
Key Features of WPA3
• 1. Stronger Encryption
• 2. Protection Against Brute-Force Attacks
• 3. Enhanced Public Wi-Fi Security
• 4. Simplified Device Connectivity
• 5. Forward Secrecy
WPA3 vs. WPA2
• WPA3 offers:
• - AES-GCMP encryption (stronger than AES-
CCMP)
• - Better protection against attacks
• - Improved public Wi-Fi security
Stronger Encryption in WPA3
• 128-bit encryption for personal networks.
• 192-bit encryption for enterprise networks.
• Ensures security even if password is
compromised.
Protection Against Brute-Force
Attacks
• Prevents offline dictionary attacks.
• Uses Simultaneous Authentication of Equals
(SAE) instead of PSK.
Enhanced Public Wi-Fi Security
• Opportunistic Wireless Encryption (OWE)
encrypts data even on open networks.
• Prevents eavesdropping in public places.
Simplified Device Connectivity
• Wi-Fi Easy Connect simplifies device
onboarding.
• Uses QR codes or NFC for authentication.
• Ideal for IoT and smart home devices.
Forward Secrecy
• Prevents attackers from decrypting past
communications.
• Ensures security even if encryption keys are
compromised.
WPA3-Personal
• Uses SAE instead of Pre-Shared Key (PSK).
• Stronger password authentication.
• Protects against password guessing attacks.
WPA3-Enterprise
• Uses 192-bit encryption for high-security
environments.
• Required for government and financial
institutions.
• Prevents man-in-the-middle attacks.
Transition Mode (WPA2/WPA3)
• Allows WPA2 and WPA3 devices to coexist.
• Ensures backward compatibility for older
devices.
• Gradual transition to WPA3.
Challenges in WPA3 Adoption
• Not all old devices support WPA3.
• Requires firmware or hardware upgrades.
• Still being widely adopted.
Conclusion
• WPA3 is the future of Wi-Fi security.
• Offers stronger encryption, better
authentication, and improved public Wi-Fi
security.
• Upgrade to WPA3 for better protection!
