| said by Metatron2008:Again, Americans did this first... It was found that the gtx 260/280 nvidia series could already hack tkip. Just like anything it seems today, press likes to act like the Japanese did it first. I think the story didn't say they discovered the 1st way to do this. It said they discovered a way to do it very very quickly.

Last November, security researchers first showed how WPA could be broken, but the Japanese researchers have taken the attack to a new level, according to Dragos Ruiu, organizer of the PacSec security conference where the first WPA hack was demonstrated. "They took this stuff which was fairly theoretical and they've made it much more practical," he said.
The earlier attack, developed by researchers Martin Beck and Erik Tews, worked on a smaller range of WPA devices and took between 12 and 15 minutes to work.
Computer scientists in Japan say they've developed a way to break the WPA encryption system used in wireless routers in about one minute.
