WPA3 - Netiquette IQ Blog Of 10/24//2019




WPA3
WPA3, also known as Wi-Fi Protected Access 3, is the third iteration of a security certification program developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance. WPA3 is the latest, updated implementation of WPA2, which has been in use since 2004.
The Wi-Fi Alliance began to certify WPA3-approved products in 2018. WPA3 support will not be automatically added to every device, but WPA3 devices will be backwards-compatible with devices that use the WPA2 protocol. While WPA3 is more secure and comprehensive than WPA2, the the Wi-Fi Alliance will still support and update the WPA2 protocol for the foreseeable future.

WPA3 vs WPA2
When compared to the WPA2 standard, WPA3 adds the following notable features:
  • Individualized data encryption.
  • Bigger session keys.
  • Stronger brute force attack protection.
  • Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) support.
  • Device Provisioning Protocol (DPP) support.

October as official month By Lahle Wolfe
Updated January 14, 2019
If you're Italian-American, if you're a ​cookbook author, or, if you're a country music artist, then October is the month for you. That's because October is National Italian-American Heritage Month, Cook Book Author Month, and Country Music Month, as well as (the more serious) National Cholesterol Month. The United States is very prolific at creating "national month" events. In addition to businesses (from major corporations to local ma and pa shops) numerous worthwhile organizations and special interest groups establish a promotion during a calendar month to get their name and message out to the public.
In addition to fostering awareness, creating a national month designation is an excellent way to celebrate a nationality, a religion, an interest, or a cause. 
While you may not want to hug a "Texas chef" or believe that vegetarian and pork lovers should celebrate their food preference in different months, you'll definitely find something in October to celebrate or pay attention to.
The following events are observed every year for the entire calendar month.

Original release date: September 30, 2019
October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM), which is a collaborative effort between the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and its public and private partners—including the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA)—to ensure every American has the resources they need to stay safe and secure online while increasing the resilience of the Nation against cyber threats. This year’s theme, “Own IT. Secure IT. Protect IT.,” focuses on promoting personal accountability and positive behavior when it comes to cybersecurity.

CISA encourages organizations to see the NCSAM 2019 webpage and the NCSAM 2019 Toolkit

Paul, every year millions of Americans find themselves unable to vote because they miss a registration deadline, don’t update their registration, or aren’t sure how to register.

Our partners at Vote Forward have made it easy to contact historically under-represented, not-yet-registered voters living in key 2020 swing states to provide them with everything they need to register to vote.

air gapping
Air gapping is a security measure that involves physically isolating a computer or network to prevent it from connecting directly or wirelessly to other systems that can connect to the Internet. Air gapping is used to protect many types of critical systems, including those that support the stock market, the military, the government and industrial power industries.
To prevent unauthorized data extrusion through electromagnetic or electronic exploits, there must be a specified amount of space between the air-gapped system and outside walls and between its wires and the wires for other technical equipment. In the United States, the U.S. National Security Agency TEMPEST project provides best practices for using air gaps as a security measure.

For a system with extremely sensitive data, a Faraday cage can be used to prevent electromagnetic radiation (EMR) escaping from the air-gapped equipment. Although such measures may seem extreme, van Eck phreaking can be used to intercept data such as key strokes or screen images from demodulated EMR waves, using special equipment from some distance away. Other proof-of-concept (POC) attacks for air- gapped systems have shown that electromagnetic emanations from infected sound cards on isolated computers can be exploited and continuous wave irradiation can be used to reflect and gather information from isolated screens, keyboards and other computer components.

As of this writing, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is awarding grants for prototype hardware and software designs that will keep sensitive data physically isolated. The grants are made possible under the Guaranteed Architecture for Physical Security (GAPS) program.

Enhancing air-gapped security measures

The problem with physical separation as a security technique is that, as complexity increases in some system or network to be isolated, so does the likelihood that some unknown or unauthorized external connection will arise.

Perhaps the most important way to protect a computing device or network from an air gap attack is through end user security awareness training. The infamous Stuxnet worm, which was designed to attack air-gapped industrial control systems, is thought to have been introduced by infected thumb drives found by employees or obtained as free giveaways.
The software-defined perimeter (SDP) framework is another tool network engineers can use to create a type of "virtual air gapping" through policy enforcement. SDP requires external endpoints that want to access internal infrastructure to comply with authentication policies and ensures that only authenticated systems can see internal IP addresses.


In my books, noted below, I often lament about the lack of civility, deterioration of written communication and abuse of the power of the Internet. Electronic communication, in my opinion, breeds negativity and behavior which does not exist in direct communication. 

The following is an except from my first book which addresses angry email replies.
