Do you know about Wi-Fi security?
For those who use a broadband light connection at home or in the office or in the business, they use a Wi-Fi router with a Maximam line to share the net connection via Wi-Fi. And while setting up this Wi-Fi, we can see different types of securities, including WPA, WPA2, Open, WEP 64. Without proper use, Wi-Fi speed and simultaneous Wi-Fi passwords leak or increase the chance of hacking! So today I have come to discuss WiFi's securitization. However, there are not many discussions, but those who do not know about this issue can take a look at today's tune.
When you set up a Wireless connection, you will see these three primary security algorithms in Wired Equivalent Privacey (WEP), Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2). Among them, the WEP algorithm is the oldest and outdated method, using this method is a great many times the chance of a router being hacked.
On the other hand, the WPA Securization system can be upgraded, but it is possible to bribe its securities by trying hard! And although WPA2 is not perfect, it is currently the most secure choice and more used. The WPA2 algorithm has two different encryption systems named Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) and the Andvanced Encryption Standard (AES). Below is a light discussion with these two:
AES vs TKIP
AES and TKIP are two different encryption systems used in Wi-Fi networks. TKIP is an old model used for WPA systems. So TKIP will be used in the present age fools!
On the other hand, AES is a Secure Encryption Protocol that has been invented with the WPA2 system. The AES encryption can provide so much security that this encryption protocol is being used in the US government's computer system.
It can be said that TKIP is an old and outdated encryption system, and AES is a new and timely encryption protocol. But its security depends on your router model. Because the WPA2 system is selected, it can also adapt to the TKIP protocol for the old router model, and it is not a good fit for your router's securitization.
Wi-Fi Secure Mode:
Now come back to the original tune. When creating a Wi-Fi network, you will find different types of different types of securitization options, depending on your router's model and power. Do not forget to look into the following types of cases:
Open (risky):
If you select this option, your Wi-Fi connection will be set as an open Wi-Fi network and there will be no type of security and password system. Generally Open Wi Fi should not be set.WEP 64 (risky):
This is a version of Wi-Fi Security, the most comprehensive WEP protocol. Hacking the system is now a matter of 1/2, so it is best not to use it.WEP 128 (risky):
This is WEP, but it has a large encryption key size. However, it is not worth the use of securities.WPA-PSK (TKIP):
This mode uses the original version of WPA protocol. WPA2 protocol has come out in time, and it has also been outdated and the usage is inadequate.WPA-PSK (AES):
It also uses the original WPA protocol, but instead of TKIP encryption, Modern AES encryption is used.WPA2-PSK (TKIP):
This is using the standard WPA2 standard but it uses older TKIP encryption system. This method will not get the securities good, but for the previous day devices that support the WPA2-PSK (AES) protocol, this standard has to be used.WPA2-PSK (AES):
This is the current most secure Wi-Fi networking system. It uses the latest Wi-Fi encryption standard WPA2 and the latest AES encryption protocol. So you must use this option in the settings of your Wi-Fi router!WPAWPA2-PSK (TKIP / AES):
Some Wi-Fi router has access to these mixed securities options. Using this option allows you to combine WPA and WPA2 with both TKIP and AES simultaneously. With Maxim's securitization, Maximam compability is provided. However, due to WPA, it can be easily secured or hacked so it is not good to use!
The WPA2 certification system was introduced in 2004 and WPA2 certification was considered mandatory since 2006, 11 years ago since 2006. So WPA2 encryption system is supported on any Wi-Fi device after 2006.
So you can safely use the WPA2 securities system in your Wi-Fi connection. This WPA2 system can be hacked only by a Braun Force hack! Generally, hackers do not use this brave force hack if they do not have a large big company. Because this hack system requires a lot of time and effort to operate.
If your router or device does not support the WPA2 system, then for the securities, I will say that today the device and buy new model devices! 😆
