That's a Dan Harkins protocol; Harkins is a little notorious for Dragonfly, a PAKE he tried to get "approved" by IETF CFRG before being slagged by Trevor Perrin†, who wrote up a particularly simple and nasty side channel attack on the elliptic curve point generation technique Dragonfly used. SAE includes what looks like the same "hunt-and-peck" point generator.
All I ever read about the Dragonfly PAKE was trevp taking it apart on CFRG, but from a quick skim of this paper and the IETF draft Harkins wrote for Dragonfly, this looks like it's just an instantiation of Dragonfly.
That would be pretty funny.
What is it about WiFi security that makes it such a backwater?
