A novel approach for elimination of rogue access point in wireless network

Abstract

Now a day's wireless LAN is widely used in many public spaces. Wireless access points expand wired network. It provides more flexibility to the users. There is a big risk that users connect to rogue access point (Rogue AP). Detection of rogue AP is a challenge for network administrator. Undetected rogue APs are serious threats which steal sensitive information from the network. There are many techniques used for detection of fake AP. But these solutions are expensive and not applicable for many scenarios. We need an effective solution which provides a high success rate for detection of rogue AP. In this paper we have discussed existing techniques for detection of rogue AP with its effectiveness and weaknesses. And also describe our solution for this major concern in wireless network.
