I agree Glen. There is nothing new to add to already known flaws
in the overall system. Was there a pay per view for this
journal/research review paper? Maybe they must found the web site
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://www.cloudcracker.com/">"https://www.cloudcracker.com/"</a> and got an idea..<br>

<p>The weakest point, the researchers believe, is the

<p>As part of their security protocols, routers using WPA2
must reconnect and re-authenticate devices periodically and
share a new key each time. The team points out that the
de-authentication step basically leaves a backdoor unlocked
albeit for a limited period. This period, however, could be
long enough for a fast-wireless scanner and a determined
intruder.</p>

<div>The Abstract is in the modern style, selling the paper rather
