Abstract
An impersonation detection system for a wireless node of a wireless communication network is described. The system comprises an intrusion detection module for correlating the original data frames transmitted by the wireless node with incoming data frames received over the air interface. The wireless node is connected to the intrusion detection module over a secure link, for receiving a copy of the original data frames. A method for detecting impersonation based attacks at a wireless node is also disclosed.
