Wi Fi Protected Access WPA2 WPA3 Security Testing
The Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) standards are designed to secure wireless networks and protect data transmitted over them. Among these, WPA2 and its successor WPA3 have been widely adopted due to their robust security features. WPA2 provides a comprehensive framework for securing wireless networks through encryption methods such as AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) and TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol). It addresses vulnerabilities present in the original WEP standard, ensuring secure communication between devices.
However, with technological advancements and increased cyber threats, it became necessary to introduce an even more secure protocol. WPA3, released by IEEE, offers enhanced security features over WPA2. One of its key improvements is the introduction of Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE), which ensures that both client devices and access points are authenticated simultaneously without using a password. This feature enhances privacy and reduces the risk of brute force attacks.
Our laboratory specializes in conducting comprehensive testing for WPA2 and WPA3 security protocols to ensure compliance with industry standards such as IEEE 802.11i and IEEE 802.11w. Our services encompass a wide range of test parameters, including:
- Key management protocol evaluation
- Cryptographic strength assessment
- Data integrity checks
- Authentication mechanism analysis
- Vulnerability detection and mitigation recommendations
We employ state-of-the-art equipment to simulate real-world scenarios, ensuring accurate and reliable test results. Our approach ensures that our clients can trust the security of their wireless networks.
| Test Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| AES-CCMP Encryption | Evaluates the robustness and efficiency of AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) with CCM (Counter with CBC-MAC) for securing data transmission. |
| Pre-shared Key Management | Analyzes the security measures in place when using pre-shared keys, ensuring that they are not easily guessable or susceptible to brute force attacks. |
| Group Key Handshake Protocol | Evaluates the integrity and security of the group key exchange process during initial connection establishment between devices. |
| Session Resumption Test | Assesses the efficiency and security of resuming sessions without re-authentication, ensuring seamless user experience while maintaining robust security. |
In addition to these parameters, we also conduct comprehensive analysis on the following areas:
- Resistance against common attacks like brute force, dictionary attacks, and replay attacks.
- Data integrity checks using message authentication codes (MACs).
- Ensuring that all security mechanisms comply with relevant international standards such as IEEE 802.11i/w and NIST SP 800-132.
Our testing process involves meticulous specimen preparation, rigorous instrumentation setups, and thorough analysis to provide accurate results. By leveraging our expertise and advanced equipment, we ensure that your wireless networks are not only compliant with current standards but also future-proofed against emerging threats.
