The newly discovered Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) vulnerability on Access Points using WPA encryption protocol opens the door to potentially new WPA/TKIP attacks. While it is an exaggeration to say TKIP is broken today, this is a new and serious threat which does create some cause for concern as many companies have been migrating from WEP to WPA to improve security and meet regulatory compliance requirements such as PCI. This latest development could lead to new wireless network attacks on those enterprises which have gone only as far as upgrading to WPA instead of WPA2 to remain protected. This new attack reinforces the fact that companies cannot rely on a single point of failure when it comes to enterprise security.
