  • Detection of rogue access point
    Patent number: 10148672
    Abstract: A method and apparatus determine whether a rogue access point (AP) is present within a wireless network. The method includes sending a first AP discovery message including a pre-stored identifier of a known AP previously accessed by a UE; sending one or more additional AP discovery messages, each additional message including a generated identifier of a non-existent AP; and receiving responses to the first and additional AP discovery messages. Additionally, the method includes determining whether a rogue AP is present within a wireless network of the UE based on the responses indicating that one or more non-existent APs are present within the wireless network. The method may also include determining to connect to the known AP based on the responses indicating that known AP is present and no non-existent AP is present within the wireless network of the UE.
