Which encryption algorithm is used by WPA3?

WPA3 primarily uses AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) with CCMP (Counter Mode with Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol) for strong encryption. This combination provides robust security and is a significant improvement over older encryption methods. TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) was used by WPA and WPA2 as a stopgap measure, but it has known vulnerabilities and is not used in WPA3. SAE (Simultaneous Authentication of Equals) is the authentication method used by WPA3-Personal, replacing the Pre-Shared Key (PSK) exchange, but it is not an encryption algorithm itself; rather, it's a key establishment protocol that then uses AES for encryption. PSK (Pre-Shared Key) is an authentication method, not an encryption algorithm.
