Re: New method found to crack WPA - but not WPA2 quote:
You sure WPA2 "requires" AES?
Yes, as others above have already stated. Support for AES is required and support for TKIP is optional in WPA2. I am not aware of any vendor implementing TKIP in WPA2 but I haven't look for it either.

However, some devices allow WPA (not WPA2) with AES (and WPA2 with TKIP).
Exactly - they allow the optional encryption method in addition to the required method. In other words some devices support the optional AES-CCMP encryption method with WPA (I have one which does not and one which does).
Just so everyone knows, if a devices is using TKIP with WPA2 it is just as vulnerable as a device using TKIP with WPA. |
