Paper Abstract:
|
Wi-Fi networks and its users are more and more numerous. Unfortunately, the risk of using one Wi-Fi or another varies because there is no means of selecting the most trustworthy hotspot. Mobile wireless connections are still risky and the performance varies greatly depending on the different nearby networks connections. For instance, new soft Access Point (AP) may easily spoof the identity of another AP under maintenance and thus compromise the privacy or the power consumption of the users mobiles. Our solution proposes using trust management to mitigate malicious APs. We define a malicious AP in two ways: first the AP is defined such as an AP which cheats by capturing users sensitive information while the user surfs the Web during their connection to this AP. Second, the AP is defined such as an AP which constrains user to use a lot of battery of the users mobile by constraining to use encryption when the user does not need that. We have analyzed the network utilization and power consumption of mobile devices in the case of Geneva Hotspot AP locations. We have validated our proposed solution under resource constraints through simulation based on dynamic simulation tools named AnyLogic. |
