What is a session key authentication protocol?

A session key authentication protocol is a cryptographic protocol used to verify the authenticity of a session key exchanged between two parties. It ensures that the session key has not been tampered with or intercepted by unauthorized entities. This protocol typically involves the use of digital signatures or message authentication codes to authenticate the session key and provide integrity and non-repudiation.
