Abstract: A computer implemented method of distributed wireless communications access security, the method comprising steps a computer processor of a server computer is programmed to perform, the steps comprising: receiving data characterizing a device, selecting a policy from a database of policies using the received data characterizing the device, for the device, the policy defining a criterion for determining which wireless access points are allowable, and communicating data defining the selected policy to the device, for the device to use for determining whether access to an active wireless access point is allowable.

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.
