Whatever issue you mean, it cannot be worse than the issues these "Wireless Password Sharing" systems have. Or at least the WPS-Button system cannot be worse than any of these systems, which seem very prone to MITM attacks.
- nemothekid 6y agoWPS was laughably insecure. If Apple's solution was piggybacked off of iMessage's key infrastructure then MITM is a non-issue.
- Nextgrid 6y agoI believe the problem with the WPS button is that it comes with a WPS PIN (might be optional, but enabled by default in most cases) which means brute-force attacks are possible even without having to press the button, where as the solution described in the repo would at least require you to eavesdrop on an active key exchange between 2 users.
- girvo 6y agoOh no it was far worse: the WPS PIN implementations led to straight up non-interactive wifi hacks. That hasn’t happened with these sharing systems (yet) so far as I know.
