Hello,

Is there an upper limit to the number of characters in sae_password when making a WPA3 (SAE) connection using hostapd or wpa_supplicant?
WPA2 says "ASCII passphrase (8..63 characters)" in hostapd.conf, but it doesn't mention the character limit for sae_password.
If there is no upper limit, is there an indicator that up to 128 characters is common?

Best regards,

TK

Here is the output of wl sae_password command:

# ./wl sae_password
sae_password
Set password for SAE Authentication.
max allowed password length : 128 bytes

Thanks.

It seems that the upper limit was also set for the header file (include / linux / ieee80211.h) of the Linux kernel.
SAE_PASSWORD_MAX_LEN 128

 

Best regards,
