Toshihiro Ohigashi of Hiroshima University and Masakatu Morii of Kobe University have developed a practical attack on WiFi connections that use WPA security with the TKIP algorithm.
While not as weak as the earlier, and now completely broken, WEP security, this attack means that WPA/TKIP can no longer be trusted to keep your network safe.
The good news is that reasonably recent WiFi access-points offer the alternative AES encryption that is not vulnerable to this attack. Avoiding this problem is as simple as logging in to the access-point’s administration page and changing the encryption setting.
