Wi-Fi authentication agent — performs secure credential exchange during network association
Executes Wi-Fi authentication protocols when systems associate with wireless networks. Accesses Secure Enclave sealed keys through the keychain to handle credential material securely. Controls packet capture and communicates directly with wireless hardware drivers to process authentication frames. Manages network configuration and reachability state during the authentication handshake. Contacts multiple network endpoints during operation, likely for enterprise authentication or certificate validation workflows.AI
