What is WPA3?

WPA3 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 3) is a security protocol for Wi-Fi networks that replaced WPA2. It offers improved encryption and authentication compared to its predecessor, making Wi-Fi networks more secure against eavesdropping and brute-force attacks. Common improvements include Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE), also known as Dragonfly handshake, which replaces the Pre-Shared Key (PSK) authentication method, offering stronger protection against password guessing. It is commonly used in home, enterprise, and public Wi-Fi networks to provide a more secure wireless connection.
