Abstract
Techniques for detecting and/or confirming a Man-in-The-Middle (MiTM) attack using Fine Timing Measurement (FTM) are provided. In one aspect, a FTM exchange is initiated between a second station and a first station to detect or confirm a MiTM attack in a network in which a MiTM is positioned between the first station and a third station. The MiTM attack is detected or confirmed, or both, based at least in part on FTM information determined during the FTM exchange.
