Breaking News: AT&T Buys Wayport; WPA's TKIP Cracked?; Virgin America Sets Launch Date
Wi-Fi Networking News —
... Is TKIP dead, already? A report in advice of the PacSec conference from IDG News Service says that researchers have found a non-brute-force method of cracking a TKIP key in 12 to 15 minutes on average. TKIP is used with WPA Personal, as the weaker of two encryption algorithm options. Even more specifically, researchers Erik Tews and Martin Beck seem to have cracked a router (AP) to adapter (station) key, as the crack works only for data aimed at an adapter. If this is true, it would require a move by an organization concerned about security to WPA2 only, ...
