Abstract

Techniques are provided for verifying Access Points (APs) using crowd sourcing. In one example, a STA establishes a first non-verified connection, based on security material, with a source AP in a wireless infrastructure. A target AP in a wireless infrastructure obtains an indication that the STA is attempting to establish a second non-verified connection with the target AP. In response, the target AP establishes the second non-verified connection based on the security material.
