System and method for security and quality assessment of wireless access points

A method for security risk assessment of wireless access point devices, the method comprising performing, by a computer system:

• receiving, from one or more first devices, one or more reports of accesses to a first access point having a unique identifier, the one or more reports including, for each session of one or more access sessions a count of local internet protocol (IP) addresses used during each session;
• determining, using the one or more reports, a security level of the first access point, the security level of the access point being determined according to a function that decreases with increase in the counts of the local IP addresses during the one or more sessions;
• and
• transmitting, to one or more second devices, a message indicating the security level of the first access point.

A method for security risk assessment of wireless access point devices, the method comprising performing, by a computer system:

• receiving, from one or more first devices, two or more reports of accesses to a first access point having a unique identifier, the two or more reports each corresponding to an access session of two or more access sessions, each report including a time of access for the access session to which the each report corresponds;
• determining, using the one or more reports, a security level of the first access point, the security level of the access point being determined according to a function that increases with increase in one or more time differences between the times of access of the first access point included in the two or more reports;
• and
• transmitting, to one or more second devices, a message indicating the security level of the first access point.

A method for security risk assessment of wireless access point devices, the method comprising performing, by a computer system:

• receiving, from one or more devices, two or more reports of accesses to a first access point having a unique identifier, each report of the two or more reports including at least one of a device identifier and a user identifier,
• determining, using the one or more reports, a security level of the first access point, the security of the access point being determined according to a function that increases with increase in a number of the at least one of the unique device identifiers and the unique user identifiers included in the two or more reports;
• and
• transmitting, to one or more second devices, a message indicating the security level of the first access point.

A system for security risk assessment of wireless access point devices, the system comprising one or more processing devices and one or more memory devices operably coupled to the one or more processing devices, the one or more memory devices storing executable code effective to cause the one or more processing devices to:

• receive, from two or more first devices, two or more reports of accesses to a first access point having a unique identifier, the two or more reports including, for each session of two or more access sessions by the two or more first devices, at least one of (a) a count of reconnects during the each session, (b) a count of local internet protocol (IP) addresses used during the each session, (c) a time of access of the first access point during the each session, and (d) at least one of a device identifier and a user identifier;
• determine, using the two or more reports a security level of the first access point according to a function that at least one of (e) decreases with increase in the counts of reconnects during the two or more access sessions, (f) decreases with increase in the counts of local IP addresses used during the two or more access sessions, (g) increases with increase in one or more time differences between the times of access of the first access point during the two or more sessions, and (h) increases with increase in a number of the at least one of the unique device identifiers and the unique user identifiers included in the two or more reports;
• transmitting, to one or more second devices, a message indicating the security level of the first access point.
