First Claim
1. A method of detecting a falsified wireless access point over a wireless network, comprising:
- identifying a wireless access point for validation;
measuring a round trip time delay to the wireless access point;
determining an expected processing delay of the wireless access point;
analyzing the measured round trip time delay and the expected processing delay; and
validating the wireless access point based upon the analysis.

Abstract
Apparatuses and methods for detecting falsified wireless access points are presented. A method includes identifying a target wireless access point for validation and measuring a round trip time delay to the wireless access point. The method also includes determining an expected processing delay of the wireless access point, analyzing the measured round trip time delay and the expected processing delay, and validating the wireless access point based upon the analysis. An apparatus includes a wireless transceiver, a processing unit coupled to the wireless transceiver, and a memory coupled to the processing unit. The processing unit is configured to identify a target wireless access point for validation, measure a round trip time delay to the wireless access point, determine an expected processing delay of the wireless access point, analyze the measured round trip time delay and the expected processing delay, and validate the wireless access point based upon the analysis.
