A municipal CISO asks what SAE changes versus classic WPA2-PSK handshake assumptions. Which statement is most accurate?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
With classic PSK, grabbing a handshake is like photocopying the lock so you can try keys at home. SAE changes that game — WPA3-Personal is built to shrug off those offline password-guessing picnics.
Full Explanation
Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) is the WPA3-Personal authentication mechanism designed to prevent the offline dictionary-attack pattern associated with captured WPA2-PSK 4-way handshakes. Passphrase guessing against SAE is constrained differently than against a reusable PSK handshake capture. SAE is a Personal-mode feature class, not WEP and not limited to Enterprise RADIUS.
