Wi-Fi WPA Encryption Protocol Cracked by Daniel A. Begun — Thursday, November 06, 2008, 12:36 PM EDT ...

The WPA2 standard is a 2004 update to the WPA specification that includes support for a US government-approved encryption protocol called Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).

Researchers in Japan have developed an attack against WiFi Protected Access when using the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) that can successfully break the encryption in less than a minute ...

They do highlight weaknesses of TKIP-based encryption, which was designed to patch up some of egregious security holes in the first WiFi encryption protocol, WEP.

German researchers advise moving from WEP to a different security protocol to protect important information.

News reports claiming that Japanese researchers had broken the Wi-Fi WPA encryption system are incorrect. WPA remains intact, but the researchers demonstrated a more efficient (if complex) way to ...

Wireless Security Protocols like WPA2, WPA, WEP use different encryption methods like CRC, TKIP, AES, CCMP to keep data protected. Know the differences.

TKIP is the only protocol that the hack applies to, so switching to AES-only will ensure that your Wi-Fi network is safe again.

Japanese researchers have developed a way to crack WPA encryption in about a minute.

Security researchers may have discovered severe vulnerabilities in the Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) protocol that protects the majority of Wi-Fi connections around the world. If the encryption ...

Find out how WPA and WPA2 improve upon WEP's encryption methods for better wireless security. The previous tip in this series on wireless encryption methods explained how WEP works.
