Why is Publicroam safe?
Publicroam uses the same security standards used on business networks, educational institutions, and government networks.
Unlike many traditional guest Wi-Fi networks, Publicroam does not work with shared passwords or unsecured open access. Every user has their own account and connects via a secure authentication method.
Publicroam uses, among other things:
- WPA2-Enterprise and WPA3-Enterprise;
- IEEE 802.1X;
- EAP authentication;
- certificate verification.
This significantly reduces the risk of misuse, fake Wi-Fi networks, and the interception of network traffic.
Users create an account once and can then connect automatically and securely at all connected Publicroam locations.
