For TechSolutions to overhaul the wireless network infrastructure for the city’s public libraries, WPA3 is the best choice due to the following reasons:

Security: WPA3 provides enhanced security over previous protocols like WPA2, offering stronger encryption mechanisms and protection against brute-force attacks.

Backward Compatibility: WPA3 ensures compatibility with devices supporting WPA2, making it suitable for diverse devices used by library-goers.

Features:

Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE): Enhances security during the handshake process.

Forward Secrecy: Protects past communications even if the current encryption key is compromised.

Improved Encryption: Uses AES-256 in Galois/Counter Mode (AES-GCM) for secure encryption.
