Wi-Fi Alliance snapshot
• International trade association of 350+
computing, handset, consumer
electronics makers and service
providers
• Industry leader and collaboration forum,
innovating for 11 years to meet the
needs of a wide variety of users and
use environments
• Enabling worldwide Wi-Fi adoption and
inclusion in a wide array of devices
through testing, market building, and
regulatory programs
• Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ products deliver
advanced technology, the best user
experience and the latest security
protections
Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Wi-Fi Direct is personal Wi-Fi
networking that goes anywhere
• Connects devices directly, with or without a Wi-Fi network or hotspot available
• Makes the connection to open a world of applications, including content sharing,
synch, printing, gaming and more
• Easy to use and secure
• Wide variety of devices
from many vendors
• Connects with almost
any Wi-Fi CERTIFIED
device
• Designed for portable
and stationary devices
How the technology behind Wi-Fi Direct works:
All Wi-Fi Direct devices include WPA2 security
• Active Agreement: Connecting Wi-Fi Direct-certified devices requires active
agreement: one device must request access, and device controlling the group
grants permission
• Partition helps ensure security:
– Enterprise environment (access to printer w/o network); home (let your kid’s hacker
friend connect directly for gaming rather than full access)
– When cross connected to a traditional network, Wi-Fi Direct groups operate in an
independent security domain
• All Wi-Fi Direct-certified devices support WPA2 security protections. Only
authorized devices are permitted to connect, and transmissions over the air are
encrypted using government-grade AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)
