Abstract
Rogue or malicious access points pose a threat to wireless networks () and the users of these networks. In order to prevent or reduce this threat a method and system is proposed that verifies that an access point () is genuine and not rogue before setting up a connection between the access point and a wireless device (). The authentication is based on comparing an identifier of the wireless device () obtained from an authentication server () in the wired network to an identifier of a wireless device obtained directly from the wireless device. A comparator () in an information server () receives the two sets of data and compares the two identifiers and if they match the access point is verified as genuine.
