Hold on there: WPA3 connections fail after 11 hours (rachelbythebay.com)

Article summary

The article discusses an issue with WPA3 connections failing after 11 hours, possibly due to a chip or driver problem. The exact cause of the issue is unclear, but it may be related to a counter overflow or a key rotation problem. The issue is not specific to Raspberry Pi devices, but rather a broader problem with WPA3 or the Infineon chip used in some devices. The article's details are not available, but the comments suggest a complex technical issue.

Main themes

• WPA3 connection failures
• Raspberry Pi vs x86 devices
• Embedded systems standardization
• Key rotation and counter overflows
• CPU architecture and peripherals
• Security and cryptography best practices

What commenters say

• The WPA3 connection failure after 11 hours may be due to a chip or driver issue, rather than a problem with the Raspberry Pi device itself.
• Using x86 devices instead of Raspberry Pi or other embedded systems may be a more reliable option, but it is not a guaranteed solution.
• The issue may be related to a key rotation problem or a counter overflow, which could be a time-dependent or bit-dependent issue.
• Some commenters believe that the problem is not with the CPU architecture, but rather with the lack of standardization and proprietary blobs in embedded systems.
• Others argue that the issue is likely an 'uptime bug' caused by an integer overflow, which could be a common problem in complex systems.
• The use of 64-bit keys in 2024 is questioned by some, who believe that it is insecure and should not be part of the WPA3 spec.
• The discussion also touches on the idea that x86 devices are not always the best option for embedded systems, and that other factors such as peripherals and proprietary blobs can be more important than the CPU architecture.
