MIT technique may stop man-in-the-middle wireless attacks

MIT researchers have found a way to defend against "man-in-the-middle" (MITM) attacks on wireless connections. The new security technique doesn't have to rely on passwords as part of the protection scheme. The researchers have only demonstrated the effectiveness of the technique on a Wi-Fi network, such as connections between phones, laptops, cell towers and wireless routers, but believe it would be equally effective for links between a phone and a wireless headset, a medical implant and a wrist-mounted monitor, or a computer and a wireless speaker system....
