Abstract
The threat of rogue access points (APs) has attracted significant attentions from both industrial and academic researchers. This paper considers a category of rogue APs that are set up in moving vehicles to lure users. Usually, rogue access points are on the moving vehicles that can keep close distance to the users at all time, thus the adversary has more time to expose private information of users. This paper proposes a practical detecting rogue APs algorithm based on received signal strength (RSS), which calculates the distance between the user and the APs to defend against the rogue APs. The paper also develops a relative position algorithm to find the position of AP. If the position of AP is on the road rather than on the road side, the algorithm suspects that the AP is rogue AP. In this paper, we also have implemented the detection algorithm on real vehicular environments and also have evaluated the performance of the proposed algorithm.
