Method and system for detecting rogue access points and device for identifying rogue access points
First Claim
1. A method for detecting rogue access points, comprising the steps of:
- providing a detecting station and a device for identifying rogue access points;
scanning access points (APs) and stations associated with the access points by the detecting station, in order to compile an AP list and an association list within the scope of the detecting station;
transmitting the AP list and the association list from the detecting station to the device for identifying rogue access points; and
determining whether each access point in the AP list is a rogue access point, according to the AP list and the association list, by the device for identifying rogue access points.

Abstract
A system for detecting rogue access points (APs) includes a detecting station (130) and a device for identifying rogue access points (110). The detecting station scans access points and stations associated with the access points, in order to compile an AP list and an association list within the scope of the detecting station, and transmits the AP list and the association list. The device for identifying rogue access points (110) includes a receiving module (112) and a determining module (114). The receiving module receives the AP list and the association list. The determining module determines whether each access point in the AP list is a rogue access point. A related method is also provided.
