发明名称 Apparatus, method, and system for securing a public wireless network
摘要 An approach for automatically securing a public wireless network is disclosed. A VPN connection platform maintains a list of available trusted wireless access identifiers to connect to a public wireless network from a mobile device. The trusted wireless access identifiers are provided to an application associated with the mobile device that selectively initiates a virtual private connection when the mobile device cannot utilize anyone of the trusted wireless access identifiers.

主权项 1. A method comprising: maintaining a plurality of trusted wireless access identifiers that are available for use to connect to a public wireless network via a plurality of corresponding wireless access points; providing the plurality of trusted wireless access identifiers to an application associated with a mobile device for establishing a trusted wireless connection, wherein the application compares the trusted wireless access identifiers to a plurality of detected wireless access identifiers that correspond to one or more wireless networks in which the mobile device is in range,wherein the application determines, based on the comparing, which, if any, of the detected wireless access identifiers correspond to the plurality of trusted wireless access identifiers,wherein the application determines that a first set of wireless access identifiers, of the plurality of detected wireless access identifiers, which do not correspond to any of the trusted wireless access identifiers, are untrusted wireless access identifiers,wherein the application determines that a second set of wireless access identifiers, of the plurality of detected wireless access identifiers, which correspond to one or more of the trusted wireless access identifiers, are trusted wireless access identifiers,wherein the application presents information regarding the first set of untrusted wireless access identifiers, including an indication that the one or more untrusted wireless access identifiers are not trusted; receiving an indication, from the application, that a particular untrusted wireless access identifier, of the first set of untrusted wireless access identifiers, has been selected for use by the mobile device; and in response to receiving the indication from the application, initiating a virtual private connection for the mobile device, the virtual private connection being initiated based on the indication that the selected wireless access identifier is an untrusted wireless access identifier.
