Security flaw in WPA 3

Researchers has found vulnerabilities in WPA 3 that could be used by an attackers to gain the password for the Wi-Fi (Khandelwal, 2019). WPA is used to authenticate the device using a  AES (Advanced Encryption Standards) protocol. It is being designed to prevent attackers from performing eavesdropping attack on wireless data. WAP 3 has been designed to b secure than WPA 2.  WPA 3 uses a more secure handshake than WAP 2. Which is known as Dragonfly. It aim is to protect the Wi-Fi network from an offline directory attack.  There are two types of attack that can be performed: downgrade attack and second to side channel leaks.
