Stronger Encryption for Wi-Fi

Posted by michael on from the huff-and-puff-and-blow-the-house-down dept.

sp00 writes "The first products certified to support Wi-Fi Protected Access 2, the latest wireless security technology, were announced by the Wi-Fi Alliance on Wednesday. The Wi-Fi Alliance says WPA2 is a big improvement on earlier wireless security standards, such as Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), which hackers have found easy to circumvent. It includes Advanced Encryption Standard, which supports 128-bit, 192-bit and 256-bit keys."

    Anyone else getting error 503 when you try to load slashdot? I got them in Mozilla (version 1.1, I know it's old..) but not in lynx (where I am now).

    Even in lynx, slashdot seems unusually slow...
