It's "secure authentication of equals", which is a protocol that kind of looks like it's trying to be a PAKE (Password Authenticated Key Exchange), but the paper does not mention PAKE anywhere in its abstract, and I'm not at all confident that SAE's design or analysis takes into account the properties that PAKE protocols should have.
I think that the original WPA key exchange was supposed to use the SRP protocol, which is a PAKE, but that was dropped due to patent issues. Since then, as I understand it, quite a few very nice PAKE protocols have had their patents expire, so I don't see what the problem is now.

So color me extremely skeptical.
