Password-authenticated key agreement (PAKE) is a cryptographic protocol that allows two parties to establish a shared secret key based on a password, without transmitting the password itself over the network. This method ensures that even if an eavesdropper is listening to the communication, they cannot derive the password or the shared key from the exchanged messages.
