MUMBAI, India, Aug. 10 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641091564 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Chennai on July 28, 2026, for System And Method For Detecting Rogue Access Points In A Wireless Network Environment.
Inventors include A Harsha Kumar; Krithick S; Abishek Devadoss; R. Sacheev Krishanu; Kumaran K; and Saranya G.
The application for the patent was published on July 31, 2026, under issue no. 31/2026.
Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system (100) includes a resource-constrained edge device (102) configured to operate without cloud connectivity, and a radio frequency data acquisition unit (104) captures wireless management frames including beacon and probe response frames transmitted by nearby access points. A circular buffer unit (106) accumulates received signal strength indicator (RSSI) samples within a fixed sliding window to stabilize temporal signal measurements. A deterministic whitelist verification engine (108) compares extracted service set identifier (SSID) and basic service set identifier (BSSID) pairs with a stored whitelist to identify Type-1 rogue access points. For verified identities, a feature extraction unit (110) generates statistical features including mean RSSI, variance, skewness, and kurtosis. A kernel-based anomaly detection engine (112) employing a One-Class Support Vector Machine with a radial basis function kernel identifies adaptive signal cloning attacks, and a verdict and quarantine unit (114) prevents user association with detected rogue access points.
