Abstract: Methods and apparatuses providing access security for wireless communication networks. A client device (a smart phone, a tablet computer, etc.) attempting to communicate with an access point, determines the presence or absence of a threat indication using a set of reference values maintained by a server computer for the access point. The client device receives the set of reference values from the server computer, and extracts at least one value from measurement of at least one parameter during wireless communication of the client device with the access point. Upon detecting a deviation of the extracted value from an expected value that is defined by the set of reference values and based on the deviation, a user of the client device can be alerted on a threat indication, and the communication of the client device with the active access point can be diverted or suspended.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for wireless communications access security, the method comprising steps a computer processor of a client device is programmed to perform, the steps comprising: receiving at least one reference set of values from a server computer, each one of the received reference sets pertaining to a respective access point, measuring at least one parameter during wireless communication with an active access point, and determining a threat indication for the active access point based on a deviation of at least one of the measured parameters from a respective one of the received reference sets of values pertaining to the active access point.
