Default Qualcomm supports WPA3 wireless security

Most secure Wi-Fi network in the industry

Back at Mobile World Congress 2018, Qualcomm announced 2x2 802.11ax-ready solution for smartphones and a few days back it announced that this and the future wireless platform will support the new WPA3 security protocol.

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and more recently Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA 2 ) are two security protocols and security certification programs developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance to secure wireless computer networks.

WPA 3 is the third iteration of the secure certification and of course it is much more secure than the previous generation. Both 2x2 802.11ax ready WCN3998 smartphones, and the IPQ807x access point (router) platform will support WPA3.
WPA 3 is more secure

Fudzilla had a chance to chat with Andy Davidson, senior director of engineering at Qualcomm about WPA3. This is a big step forward in wireless security as it overcomes all the weaknesses of the WPA 2 protocol. The WPA2 is omnipresent today but has been around since September 2004 and since March 2006 it was mandatory for all new devices bearing the Wi-Fi trademark.

The WPA 3 was announced in January 2018 and Qualcomm is one of the first companies to announce support for the new and more secured protocol. The new standard uses 192-bit individualized encryption for each user. One of the key advantages of the new WPA3 is the ability to protect users even when they choose a weak password that is not complex or random enough.

Andy confirmed that Qualcomm will apply WPA3 across any 802.11 AX devices. He mentioned that the 802.11 AX industry transition expected this year is the perfect time to upgrade security on devices with WPA 3.
