Abstract
There is provided a method and apparatus for detecting an unauthorized access point. The method for detecting an unauthorized access point according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes making an attempt to deliver, through an access point to a validation server, a message that includes network information regarding a network access of a terminal device and requests a validity verification of the network information; and determining that the access point is unauthorized when a response indicating that the network information is valid is not received from the validation server. According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, it is possible to implement a device for determining an unauthorized access point device in a general manner, independent of a specific device.
