SECURITY OF OPEN WI-FI NETWORKS

Abstract

With the widespread use of open Wi-Fi networks, ensuring their security is becoming increasingly important. This article analyzes open wireless networks and their security. With the introduction of a new wireless access protocol, WPA3, the security of open networks has increased significantly. However, no changes were made to the WPA3 protocol to combat evil twin attacks, so this type of attack still poses a potential threat. This article analyzes new WPA3 technologies and protocols. Several approaches to protecting the user from evil twin attacks were also proposed. Based on the selected criteria, the best approach, the “trust from first use” method, was selected and recommendations for its use were given.
