Xiaolong 845 Starts, Qualcomm Launched Wpa3 Security Protocol Chip This Summer.

Set micronet news, Qualcomm announced today that its mobile and network infrastructure product portfolio will adopt the industry's latest WiFi security protection measures, and Qualcomm will support the WiFi alliance's third generation security suite "WiFi Protected Access (WPA3)".

WPA3 is the latest and most secure protocol for the WiFi alliance to provide robust user password protection and better privacy in public and private WiFi networks. The chip is expected to be launched this summer, including 2 x 2 802.11ax solutions for client devices, WCN3998, and IPQ807x AP end platforms, and Qualcomm will be borrowed from WP A3, providing public and private WiFi network password protection and better privacy.

As the number of security threats and vulnerabilities continues to increase, consumers are increasingly concerned about the complexity and possible impact of threats. The previous Key Reinstallation Attack (KRACK) vulnerability avoids WPA2's network security agreements, exposes WiFi users to risk and allows potential attacks. The attacker can access unencrypted network traffic and may steal confidential information. High tech companies have been able to ensure that their products can support the latest security standards by actively solving known security vulnerabilities and using WPA3 for mobile and network infrastructure product combinations.

High pass import WPA3 encryption function, designed to provide more seamless and smooth WiFi device user experience, as well as more secure wireless access, even the user's WiFi password security is not high as well as reliable. In addition, users can also enjoy the protection of information privacy when using public or public hotspots provided by Opportunistic Wireless Encryption (OWE); OWE not only has the advantages of the open network, but also provides more protection than the previous use of WPA2 plus public sharing of password.

Qualcomm is expected to launch a chip that supports the WPA3 security protocol in the summer of 2018, starting from the high pass Snapdragon 845 mobile platform and using it to all WiFi network infrastructure products. (proofreading / Fan Rong)
