**Securing WIFI networks: WPA3 arrives in 2018**

The Wi-Fi Alliance Consortium broadly outlines improvements to secure Wi-Fi networks that will be enforced within Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA3).

The Wi-Fi Alliance Consortium is taking advantage of this beginning of the year and CES 2018 to announce the upcoming arrival of WPA3. The end of 2017 was marked by the discovery of vulnerabilities affecting WPA2 and grouped under the name of KRACK.
For now, the announcement is about improvements that will be deployed in 2018 as part of WPA3, whether for businesses or for individuals with Wi-Fi networks. These are some highlights that are presented.

The Wi-Fi Alliance evokes two features for robust protections, even when users choose passwords that do not meet the usual complexity guidelines, and simplify security configuration for devices with limited display or without screen. Connected objects?

Another feature is to enhance the privacy of users on public Wi-Fi networks through so-called individualized data encryption. Finally, the Wi-Fi Alliance speaks of a "192-bit security suite aligned with the CNSA (Commercial National Security Algorithm) ."
