Resolving Wireless Security Limitations Using a New Wi-Fi Secure Access
Salman Ali AlQahtani, Mohammed Aloraini · 2012
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is the most commonly used scheme for protecting users of wireless networks. Protection is usually afforded by authenticating users of the network and encrypting communication which travels through the wireless medium. However, the amount of protection offered by WPA is limited where it uses a pre-shared key (PSK) for authentication and encryption. In this case, if anyone holding the PSK could eavesdrop on other authorized users. In this paper, we present a new light enhancement to the Wi-Fi encryptions named as Wi-Fi Secure Access (WSA) that can remove WPA protection limitation and provide more confidentiality.
