   Severe flaw in WPA2 protocol leaves Wi-Fi traffic open to eavesdropping   
   The proof-of-concept exploit is called KRACK, short for Key Reinstallation   
   Attacks.   
      
   It works by exploiting a four-way handshake that's used to establish a key   
   for encrypting traffic. During the third step, the key can be resent   
   multiple times. When it's resent in certain ways, a cryptographic nonce can   
   be reused in a way that completely undermines the encryption.
