Abstract:
Wireless LAN is very vulnerable to MAC spoofing attack. This paper proposes an Error Vector Magnitude (EVM)-based MAC spoofing attack detection scheme. The proposed scheme identifies wireless devices by using EVM as feature for distinguishing them. The proposed scheme can detect MAC spoofing attacks in real-time by using a prototype hardware system which has been developed in this paper to capture radio signal of wireless devices and extract EVM. Through experiment, we have confirmed that our scheme is excellent in detecting MAC spoofing attacks that employ wireless devices with different Wi-Fi chipset from legitimate one.
