Abstract
Systems and methods of the present disclosure are directed to a method performed by a Wireless Communication Device (WCD) for securing wireless communication. The method includes obtaining a configuration descriptive of network entity(s) comprising (a) Legitimate Network Entity (LNE(s)); (b) or Illegitimate Network Entity (INE(s)); or (c) both LNE(s) and INE(s). The method includes determining that a trigger condition for applying the configuration has occurred. The method includes, responsive to making the determination, applying the configuration to the WCD such that connection related procedure(s) of the WCD related to connection between the WCD and the network entity(s) are adjusted in such a manner that the WCD is permitted to connect to only the LNE(s), not permitted to connect to the INE(s), both permitted to connect to only the LNE(s) and not permitted to connect to the INE(s), or not permitted to connect to any network entity.
