3. Third feature individualized data encryption concerning user privacy, encrypting data between the router and connected devices.

4. And the Fourth implementation of 192-bit security suite Commercial National Security Algorithm (CNSA) Suite for high-security requirement areas such as defense, industrial and government.

Security is a foundation of Wi-Fi Alliance certification programs, and we are excited to introduce new features to the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED family of security solutions,” said Edgar Figueroa, president, and CEO of Wi-Fi Alliance.

Wi-Fi security technologies may live for decades, so it’s important they are continually updated to ensure they meet the needs of the Wi-Fi industry,” said Joe Hoffman, SAR Insight & Consulting.

Likewise, Wireless Penetration testing is important, the Actively Examine the Process of Information security Measures which is Placed in Wireless Networks and also analyses the Weakness, technical flaws, and Critical wireless Vulnerabilities.
