Elimination of Rogue access point in Wireless Network
Pradeep B. Mane · 2013
Now a day's in many public places like bus stations, restaurant, malls etc. provides Wi-Fi connectivity to the users with free of cost. These public places having a device like wireless access point through which they provide service to the end users. The growing acceptance of wireless local area network causes a risk of wireless security attacks. The attacker creates a rogue access point to attract the users and perform attacks on user devices through WLAN. Detection of a rogue access point (AP) is a big challenge for network administrator. Presence of rogue access points is serious threats which steal sensitive information from the network. Deploying access points and restricting the use of these access points to authorized users has been a challenge due to the weak authentication and encryption used in wireless standards. There are many techniques which provide a solution to this problem. Most of these solutions are automated and are dependent on a specific wireless technology. In this paper we have presented a survey on existing techniques with its merits and demerits.
