Method and System for Detecting Attacks in Wireless Data Communications Networks

A method of detecting attacks in a wireless data communications network, includes: monitoring wireless traffic over the wireless data communications network; deriving a first network state from the monitored wireless traffic; acquiring trusted information indicative of a wireless network state from at least one apparatus of a network infrastructure; establishing a second network state based on the acquired trusted information; comparing the derived first network state with the second network state, and determining a wireless network attack in case of incoherence between the derived first network state compared to the second network state.
