WPA3 is the latest standard of Wi-Fi Protected Access, which was released in 2018 by the Wi-Fi

Alliance. WPA3 uses a new handshake protocol called Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE),

which is based on a zero-knowledge proof known as dragonfly. Dragonfly is a key exchange algorithm

that uses discrete logarithm cryptography to derive a shared secret between two parties, without

revealing any information about their passwords or keys. Dragonfly is resistant to offline dictionary

attacks, where an attacker tries to guess the password by capturing the handshake and testing

different combinations. Dragonfly is also resistant to key recovery attacks, where an attacker tries to

recover the encryption key by exploiting weaknesses in the algorithm or implementation. Dragonfly

provides forward secrecy, which means that even if an attacker manages to compromise the

password or key in the future, they cannot decrypt the past communication. WPA3 also supports

other features such as increased key sizes, opportunistic wireless encryption, and protected

management frames, which enhance the security and privacy of wireless networks. Reference:
