OWE - Solution or Problem?
20 Minute
Prague Czech Republic 2024In our increasingly connected world, securing wireless networks is critical. Opportunistic Wireless Encryption (OWE) offers enhanced security for open WLANs by providing encryption without the need for a pre-shared key. However, adopting OWE introduces new challenges, such as the coexistence of OWE-supporting and non-supporting devices within the same network. Additionally, the introduction of the 6GHz band brings new constraints and considerations for network design and deployment. This presentation will explore whether OWE is a solution or a problem by delving into its protocols, advantages, disadvantages, and deployment strategies. Gain insights into navigating these complexities and optimizing OWE implementation for enhanced security in your wireless networks.
