“…There was a group of researchers that worked to add more security and reliability to WPA3 such as in [26,27,30,32,[37][38][39][40][41]]. An intrusion detection System (IDS) was used in [26,27] to add more security to WPA3 networks, where authors implemented a signature-based IDS to detect WPA3 attacks.…”

“…[38] increased the security of WPA3 through implemented encryption techniques in the physical layer based on frequency induction for OFDM signals. Proof of Existence (PoEx) scheme introduced in [39] is used to protect the network against Evil Twin attacks, where authors witnessed besides protecting the network, there are improvements done on the network through the lifetime forging and network's throughput. [30] applied Paired Token scheme to replace Pairwise Master Key (PMK) with the onetime authenticated key establishment to deliver high performance to a larger number of clients using WPA3 networks.…”

The size of wireless networks and the number of wireless devices are growing daily. A crucial part of wireless security involves preventing unauthorized access by using wireless security protocols in order to protect the data in wireless networks. In 2018, Wi-Fi Protected Access 3 (WPA3) was ratified to protect the data in devices bearing the Wi-Fi trademark. WPA3 has many security improvements over previous wireless security protocols, by providing a better encryption method and key sharing. In this paper, a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted to analyze three aspects of WPA3 protocol: the reasons behind the release of WPA3, the encryption methods and mode of operation in this protocol, and the attacks that remain penetrating WPA3. In this review, thirty-six articles were identified as the selected research articles, written between 2018 and 2023, focusing mainly on WPA3. After the analysis of the selected articles, the encryption methods and modes of operation were presented in the SLR. In addition, the vulnerabilities that the WPA3 protocol solved and the ones that remain unsolved were discussed. This study concluded that WPA3 excels over its predecessors by providing more security and reliability to wireless networks. The result of this SLR of WPA3 proposes two methods that seek to increase the security level of WPA3 networks, which has been discussed in the discussion section.

“…Current methods for detecting evil twin attacks rely on various types of device information, such as MAC addresses or SSID names [34,35], signal strength indicators (RSSIs) [36,37] and network traffic analysis, including TCP/IP header inspection [38], monitoring changes in Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) MIBs like tcpActiveOpens, tcpPassiveOpens, and tcpAttemptFails, and the use of access control lists [39]. Murugesan K. et al [40] pointed out that evil twin access points can enable an attacker to conduct further attacks, such as man-in-the-middle, flooding the network with useless data, denial of service, and service disruption. The authors emphasize Use case: In 2020, an Interior IG IT team used an evil twin to deploy a fake access point with the same name as a true access point, and then recorded the credentials of all users attempting to log on.…”

IP cameras and digital video recorders, as part of the Internet of Surveillance Things (IoST) technology, can sometimes allow unauthenticated access to the video feed or management dashboard. These vulnerabilities may result from weak APIs, misconfigurations, or hidden firmware backdoors. What is particularly concerning is that these vulnerabilities can stay unnoticed for extended periods, spanning weeks, months, or even years, until a malicious attacker decides to exploit them. The response actions in case of identifying the vulnerability, such as updating software and firmware for millions of IoST devices, might be challenging and time-consuming. Implementing an air-gapped video surveillance network, which is isolated from the internet and external access, can reduce the cybersecurity threats associated with internet-connected IoST devices. However, such networks can also be susceptible to other threats and attacks, which need to be explored and analyzed. In this work, we perform a systematic literature review on the current state of research and use cases related to compromising and protecting cameras in logical and physical air-gapped networks. We provide a network diagram for each mode of exploitation, discuss the vulnerabilities that could result in a successful attack, demonstrate the potential impacts on organizations in the event of IoST compromise, and outline the security measures and mechanisms that can be deployed to mitigate these security risks.
