Researcher at the University of Hiroshima in Japan reported that they were able to develop a new method to crack wireless AP that uses WPA algorithm. The new method can take only 60 seconds to break Wi-Fi encryption.
Toshihiro Ohigashi and Masakatu Morii planned a conference on the 25th of September to provide the technical approach about exploiting this vulnerability.WPA cracking method has been demonstrated by experts from the last November but Japanese researchers have managed to be the first to transform it from theory to a real threat.
Up to now only WPA using algorithm Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) are affected if the router works with the WPA2 that use the stronger Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm they still safe and not vulnerable to these attacks.
