TPAP
A local device communication protocol introduced by TP-Link in newer firmware versions to replace the older encryption protocol. It incorporates security enhancements in the handshake process and session-key negotiation to guard against man-in-the-middle and replay attacks.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The Rust and Python libraries of the open-source project Tapo now support TP-Link's TPAP protocol.
TPAP (TP-Link Application Protocol) is a device communication protocol introduced by TP-Link in newer firmware versions to replace the previous protocol based on AES/RSA encryption.
Compared to earlier protocols, TPAP makes adjustments to the handshake process and session key negotiation in order to enhance the security of local communication and prevent man-in-the-middle attacks and replay attacks.
TP-Link has not publicly released the TPAP protocol specification, and the community's understanding of its structure comes primarily from packet capture analysis and reverse engineering of device network traffic.
