Abstract
A man-in-the-middle detection method and apparatus. The method includes: A base station receives, in a first physical frame, a RRC message from user equipment UE; the base station receives from the UE a second RRC message including frame information of a second physical frame, and security protection is performed on the first RRC message and the second RRC message by using an access stratum AS security context established by the UE and the base station; and the base station determines whether the first physical frame matches the second physical frame. Thereby, whether a man-in-the-middle exists in air interface communication is determined by determining whether a physical frame in which the UE sends an uplink message matches a physical frame in which the base station receives the uplink message, to prevent the man-in-the-middle from bypassing detection through a mechanism of the man-in-the-middle and improve a man-in-the-middle detection rate.
