Researchers Crack WPA, No Brute Force Needed
DailyTech – Researchers Crack WPA, No Brute Force Needed
A pair of security researchers claim to have partially cracked WPA encryption, with an attack that takes around 15 minutes.
The technique relies on an undisclosed “mathematical breakthrough,” say researchers Erik Tews and Martin Beck, and breaks the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) key used to encrypt data between a wireless router and its clients. Currently, the attack works only one way: data traveling from the access point to its clients is vulnerable, while data traveling in the opposite direction is not.
