Abstract
Devices, computer-readable media, and methods are disclosed for establishing a secure tunnel having a path that includes an untrusted link between a wireless access point and a gateway device. For example, a processor may detect a security event associated with a wireless access point that is in communication with a gateway device of the telecommunication network via a trusted link, establish a secure tunnel between the gateway device and an endpoint device that is accessing the telecommunication network via the wireless access point and the gateway device, and transport payload traffic between the endpoint device and the gateway device via the secure tunnel. A path of the secure tunnel may include an untrusted link between the wireless access point and the gateway device. In addition, the payload traffic that is transported via the secure tunnel may be indecipherable by the wireless access point.
