| Abstract(in English) | Today, Wi-Fi is being used as a means of near-field high-speed communication across much equipment, such as personal computers, smartphones and IoT devices. Meanwhile, there have been many attempts to exploit equipment leveraging Wi-Fi. Among those exploits and attacks, an attack called channel-based man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack is a serious threat, since it can be used to exploit WPA2, which is a standard of encryption and authentication scheme currently in use. If we can detect signs that this MITM attack is being conducted, it is possible to prevent further attacks which utilize the MITM attack. There is one existing method to detect the attack, which is called operating channel validation (OCV). However, this method is not commonly used because it needs support of both Wi-Fi access points and Wi-Fi clients. In this technical report, we present a new method to detect the channel-based man-in-the-middle attack using access point scanning, which only requires support of Wi-Fi clients. |
