Shared Key Authentication (SKA): An outdated wireless authentication method where both the client and the access point must possess a pre-shared secret key. The protocol is vulnerable to several security issues and is no longer recommended for use in secure wireless environments, with modern protocols like WPA2 and WPA3 providing stronger security measures.
