Lab Notes

The Wi-Fi Alliance has added new protocols to the WPA certification test suite.

For IT managers, this increases confidence that their chosen Wi-Fi authentication protocol will work with their equipment. In theory, WPA-capable Wi-Fi hardware should work with any EAP method capable of generating encryption keys (including PEAP, EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, EAP-FAST, et. al.). This new test suite ensures compatibility rather than relying on theory.
