While validating WPA3-Personal on a municipal guest SSID, what capture evidence distinguishes SAE from a legacy WPA2-PSK join?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
WPA2-PSK is a simple door code and a 4-way key dance. WPA3 SAE adds a mutual 'prove you know the secret without blurting it' commit/confirm before that dance. On the guest SSID capture, look for those SAE frames—they’re the migration proof.
Full Explanation
WPA3-Personal uses SAE (commit/confirm) to authenticate before completing key establishment with the 4-way handshake. WPA2-PSK uses open authentication plus the 4-way handshake alone. Recognizing SAE frames in captures validates a true WPA3-Personal migration versus a still-PSK BSS.
