Security researchers say they’ve developed a way to partially crack the Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) encryption standard used to protect data on many wireless networks. The attack, described as the ...

Japanese researchers find a faster way to break common encryption mechanism. You may remember that researchers last year cracked Wi-Fi’s WPA encryption – which was supposed to be vastly improved over ...

A secured wireless network is one protected with WEP or WPA encryption, which scrambles information sent between computers and the router, so unauthorized parties cannot intercept it. It also prevents ...

Consider just how vulnerable many wireless local-area networks are. WLAN data travels through the air and can be intercepted several hundred feet from its source, yet 70 to 80% of the wireless ...

Security researchers say they've developed a way to partially crack the Wi-Fi Protected Access encryption standard used to protect data on many wireless networks. The attack could also be used to send ...

Attack works on older WPA systems that use the TKIP algorithm and gives hackers a way to read encrypted traffic sent between computers and certain wireless routers Computer scientists in Japan say ...

In a recent column, I suggested that a consumer worried about Internet banking over a home Wi-Fi network could use a wired Internet connection that would be safer. But several readers asked whether ...

Computer scientists in Japan say they’ve developed a way to break the WPA encryption system used in wireless routers in about one minute. The attack gives hackers a way to read encrypted traffic sent ...

Businesses can secure their wireless networks using Wi-Fi protected access and WPA2, which are wireless security protocols that encrypt data sent through your router. TKIP and AES encrypt and decrypt ...

Wi-Fi is no longer a secure form of wireless communication, so says Global Secure Systems. According to their report, a Russian firm has harnessed the GPU processing power of the latest NVIDIA ...

Bad guys don’t target just big, corporate networks. If you have a Wi-Fi network at home or in a small office, intruders may be after you, such as casual “war drivers” who troll city streets, looking ...
