Abstract
Research on secure positioning in wireless networks aims at achieving high precision and security, most often throwing expensive hardware and lengthy in-stallation procedures at the task. In this project, we’re turning things around and study localization potential using pre-deployed IEEE 802.11 access points and fingerprint localization on off-the-shelf devices. More specifically, we adapt standard fin-gerprint localization to be scalable and heuristically detect malicious access point in a distributed fash-ion, through gossip protocols. Evaluation is per-formed both on large-scale software simulation and concrete implementation on the handheld devices. 1
