Ive read recent reports about IPSec vulnerabilities to hacking. How does Wi-Fi Security overcome these vulnerabilities?
There are two reported methods for cracking IPSec tunnels under some very specific circumstances, neither of which occurs with JiWire’s Wi-Fi Security implementation. The first involves a bit-flipping technique to compromise DES encryption algorithms. Since JiWire uses a more robust AES encryption algorithm, it is not vulnerable to this attack. The second approach involves modifying network packet headers to cause error messages which then contain the unencrypted packet contents. JiWire is not vulnerable to this type of attack, either, because it’s constantly checking to ensure packets have not been modified. In short, when it comes to staying on top of the latest best practices in secure VPN tunneling and best defenses against hackers, we’re on it.
