Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices can be utilized to verify wireless local area networks (WLANs) using fingerprints. An example method includes identifying a received fingerprint comprised in an advertisement message that is received by a user equipment (UE) at a time and within a coverage area. A source of the advertisement message is determined to be a rogue WLAN by determining that the received fingerprint is different than a verified fingerprint transmitted by an authorized WLAN at the time and in the coverage area. The UE outputs an alert indicating the rogue WLAN.
