New and secure wi-fi protected access (WPA3) security protocol announced at CES 2018 by Wi-Fi alliance.

According to them, it new improvements basically blocks the people from guessing the password and also it secure your internet traffic. The new protocol will arrive in early 2018.

Basically it will encrypt all data on public wi-fi that means every person has own its private channel so that nobody can spy. This same will also work on home but on public network it became more complicated.

The alliance is also claim that it is more secure than the previous ones.It will also block brute attacks.The 'KRACK' exploit which uses key management flaw in WPA2 was a major problem because the security protocol is commonly used to authenticate.The shift from WPA2 to WPA3 is expected to be slow as it can take a while for manufacturers to support them.
