Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) is a key exchange protocol designed to establish a shared secret between two parties, such as devices in a wireless network. SAE is primarily used for securing the key exchange process in Wi-Fi networks and is part of the WPA3 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 3) security standard.
The Security+ exam may cover topics related to cryptographic protocols, wireless security, and key exchange mechanisms. Familiarity with SAE, its role in Wi-Fi security, and its use of secure key exchange practices can be relevant for exam preparation.
