Correct answer & explanation

✓

Client sends SAE Commit to AP

WPA3 uses Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) handshake. The client first sends an SAE commit to the AP, the AP responds with its own SAE commit, then both compute a shared key. Next, the client sends an SAE confirm message, and finally the AP sends its SAE confirm to complete authentication.

  • ✓ A.AP advertises WPA3 in beacon frames
  • ✓ B.Client sends SAE commit message
  • ✓ C.Client sends SAE confirm message
  • ✓ D.4-Way Handshake between client and AP
  • ✓ E.Group key handshake completes

Why A: WPA3 uses SAE (Simultaneous Authentication of Equals) handshake. First, the AP announces WPA3 capability in beacons. The client then initiates the SAE commit exchange, followed by the SAE confirm exchange. After SAE completes, the 4-Way Handshake occurs, and finally group key is installed.
