FROM : Evaluating the Efficacy of WPA3 against Advanced Attacks: A Comparative Analysis with WPA2 in Real-World

Review Comment-1

Review and Comments for Authors:

Strengths:

1. Comprehensive Analysis:

• The paper provides a detailed comparative analysis of WPA2 and WPA3, covering security improvements, vulnerabilities, and AI-based threat detection.
• The inclusion of AI-powered techniques for threat detection adds a unique dimension to the study.

2. Methodology & Structure:

• The block diagram effectively outlines the assessment process, making it easy to follow the flow of security evaluation.
• The methodology section is well-detailed, covering attack scenarios, AI integration, and real-world application considerations.

3. Technical Rigor:

• The discussion on WPA3’s strengths and weaknesses, including downgrade attacks and side-channel vulnerabilities, is thorough.
• The performance-security trade-off section highlights practical implications, which is valuable for real-world applications.

Thanks for your review and comments

Areas for Improvement:

1. Clarity & Readability:

• Some sentences are overly complex. For example, "Integration with artificial intelligence allows for the use of learning algorithms to identify specific types of weak links and patterns of security" could be reworded for clarity.
• Consider simplifying technical explanations where possible to improve accessibility for a wider audience.

2. Deeper Discussion on AI's Role:

• While AI integration is mentioned, more details on how AI models are trained, tested, and validated for WPA3 security enhancement would strengthen the discussion.

3. More Empirical Data:

• The paper would benefit from more quantitative results, such as performance metrics, latency comparisons, or real-world case studies supporting the effectiveness of WPA3 over WPA2.
• If available, include test results from AI-based vulnerability detection to show its effectiveness.

4. Future Scope:

• A dedicated section on potential enhancements for WPA3 and the role of AI in shaping future wireless security protocols would be valuable.
• Discussion on how WPA3 can evolve to counter emerging threats like quantum computing attacks could be insightful.

Thanks for updates on areas for improvement and I have incorporated the changes in the updated paper as per these suggestions.

Review and Comments for Editor:

Overall Assessment:

• The paper is well-structured, logically organized, and provides a thorough analysis of WPA3 security.
• The topic is highly relevant, given the growing importance of securing wireless networks.

Suggestions for Refinement:

1. Grammar & Style:

• Minor grammatical inconsistencies need attention. A language check would improve readability.
• Some sentences are lengthy and could be split for better clarity.

2. Formatting & Consistency:

• Ensure consistency in citation formatting (e.g., some references have missing page numbers or incomplete URLs).
• Headings and subheadings could be standardized to maintain a uniform style throughout the document.

3. Figures & Tables:

• The block diagram is useful, but it would be beneficial to add captions explaining its key components.
• Including a comparison table summarizing the differences between WPA2 and WPA3 would make the findings more digestible.

Thanks for suggestions and I have incorporated the changes in the updated paper as per the above suggestions.

Review Comment-2
