    "every kick in the ass is a step forward." :D



    Belgian security researcher Mathy Vanhoef gave the WiFi Protected Access (WPA) standard a huge kick in the ass last fall when it disclosed details about KRACK, a vulnerability in the WPA2 WiFi protocol used by billions of devices.


    The step forward came today when the WiFi Alliance, the organization that decides WiFi standards, published the first details about the upcoming WPA3 WiFi protocol.


    A first official draft of the WPA3 WiFi authentication protocol will be available later this year, but the WiFi Alliance teased four major features today that users and hardware vendors should look forward in the new standard.
