You turn on WPA to stop other people from using your WIFI, and to provide a minimum level of protection for your non-encrypted communications (legacy apps).
And, of course, every few years the current wireless protection systems are defeated, rendering the whole thing useless until you upgrade your hardware (because nobody wants to spend money to provide a software fix for something you've already bought).
- zamadatix 8y agoThe same could be said for TLS, this seems like you're strengthening the argument of defense in depth.
- kstenerud 8y agoTls is better than nothing, but still not that great. The best would be per app end to end encryption, but that would be a ton of work, and suffer from each implementations mistakes, so you're left with a trade-off between security and doability.
