Wi-Fi WPA3 MAC

Overview

The Wi-Fi™ Protected Access 3 WPA3™ is a set of mandatory features to support for Wireless Local Area Network from the IEEE 802.11 set of specifications. It is designed to strengthen the security of Wi Fi networks and is based on the IEEE 802.11i security amendment ( also labelled as WPA ™ and WPA2 ™ by the Wi Fi Alliance I t enforces the protection of management frames as specified in the IEEE 802.11w amendment, introduces the SAE ( Simultaneous Authentication of Equals ) key excha nge algorithm and mandates the use of equivalent 192 bit cryptographic strength ciphers in WPA3 Enterprise mode

Under Development and implementation by Comsis the IP addresses all industrial Wi Fi markets that need strong data confidentiality and integrity, as well as users authentication . This IP complete s Comsis IPs portfolio (802.11a/b/g/n/i/e/p/

? Secure and field proven technology

The IP with its enhanced security extension will be is dedicated to Robotics and Factory 4.0 . A simple deployment will soon be operational at Comsis ready for demonstration purposes. Contact Comsis to book your demo, remotely or on site.

? Flexible, scalable, and easy to install

Thanks to a Reference User Manual, a Reference design documentation FPGA /microcontroller synthesis and simulation scripts AD RF daughter card and Avnet SoC dev board the IP is easy to install and handle as illustrated hereafter
