Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) are increasingly integrated into our daily lives. Access Points (APs) are an integral part of the WLAN infrastructure, as they are responsible for coordinating wireless users and connecting them to the wired side of the network and, eventually, to the Internet. APs are deployed everywhere, from airports and shopping malls to coffee shops and hospitals, to provide Internet connectivity. One of the most serious security problems encountered by WLAN users is the existence of Rogue Access Points (RAPs). This article classifies existing solutions, identifies vulnerabilities, and suggests future directions for research into these RAPs. The ultimate objective is to classify existing detection techniques and find new RAP types that have not been classified by the research community. The literature typically categorizes Evil-twin, Unauthorized, Compromised, and Improperly Configured RAPs. Two other types have largely been abandoned by researchers, but can be classified as Denial of Service RAP attacks. These are deauthentication/disassociation attacks targeting wireless users, and the forging of the first message in a four-way handshake.

“…Jain et al [68] presented a mitigation scheme by preventing a device assault of RAP, via the fingerprinting scanning by using IDS. A similar research was conducted by developing multi-agent-IDS as the guardian, to combat RAP on the existing network by Sriram et al [69] and Kharat [70]. Some other studies of RAP using the agent, were conducted by Chatfield and Haddad [71], with cosine similarity and data sectoring of RSSI, for identifying the presence of RAP.…”

Most people around the world make use of public Wi-Fi hotspots, as their daily routine companion in communication. The access points (APs) of public Wi-Fi are easily deployed by anyone and everywhere, to provide hassle-free Internet connectivity. The availability of Wi-Fi increases the danger of adversaries, taking advantages of sniffing the sensitive data. One of the most serious security issues encountered by Wi-Fi users, is the presence of rogue access points (RAP). Several studies have been published regarding how to identify the RAP. Using systematic literature review, this research aims to explore the various methods on how to distinguish the AP, as a rogue or legitimate, based on the hardware and software approach model. In conclusion, all the classifications were summarized, and produced an alternative solution using beacon frame manipulation technique. Therefore, further research is needed to identify the RAP.

“…The agents should be deployed in a distributed manner and be connected with the central administrator, which helps in detecting unauthorised wireless elements [16]. In addition, multi‐agent‐based methodology is offered in [17] to detect and mitigate rogue APs. However, it may require a lot of agents for good coverage, which leads to high deployment cost.…”

One of the challenging issues in wireless network is rogue access point (RAP) detection and mitigation. The authors propose a new access point (AP) selection mechanism to keep wireless users from RAPs. A centralised server called AP registration centre (APRC) maintains a list of authorised APs, and a wireless user can check if a specific AP is legitimate by querying APRC about its legitimacy in a secure way using the concept of voting and signal strength-based authentication. The authors compare their scheme with a timing-based scheme and the experiment results show that our scheme detects RAPs accurately with lower false positives and false negatives.
