 Simultaneous Authentication of Equals

Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) is a cryptographic protocol used primarily for secure peer-to-peer authentication in wireless communication, particularly in Wi-Fi networks. SAE is designed to provide mutual authentication and establish a secure shared key between two parties without requiring any prior knowledge about each other, making it suitable for scenarios where both parties are equals and may not trust one another. SAE is an integral part of the WPA3 security standard for Wi-Fi networks.
