> WPA's got a little weakness: poor key choice. Stated more accurately, the Pre-Shared Key (PSK) option of WPA, using the recommended text-to-key hashing algorithm, has a little weakness. And only when humans fail to use the recommended 20-character or larger, mixed text, numerics, etc. type of pass-phrases (i.e. pass-phrases that are more inherently resistant to dictionary attack). PSK mode is expected to be used in home and SOHO environments.
This is not a problem for the IEEE 802.1X authenticated key management (AKM) mode of operation for WPA. 802.1X AKM is expected to be used in enterprise environments. -- Dave -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
