Abstract
With the popularization of mobile phones and Wi-Fi hotspots, the diversification of wireless communication applications has rapidly growing. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), offered by network user authentication and communication encryption, is the most generally used mechanism to protect users in wireless networks. This paper has discussed the weakness of 4-way handshake procedure in Wi-Fi Protected Access 2/Pre-Shared Key (WPA2/PSK) and proposed an enhance WPA2/PSK by adding timestamp parameter to prevent authentication cracking. The experiments have compared WPA2/PSK with Enhanced WPA2/PSK cracking using Kali Linux tool and the result is given.
