  Abstract

In this paper, we propose a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based physical layer authentication (PLA) scheme as a countermeasure against impersonation attacks in WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network). We evaluate the proposed PLA scheme in terms of attack detection rate through experiments. The main contributions are as follows: (1) We implement the Evil Twin attack which is one of the impersonation attacks in WLAN; (2) We implement the channel state information (CSI)-based PLA scheme and perform experiments to measure attack detection rates in both static and dynamic channel environments; (3) We finally propose the CNN-based PLA scheme exploiting the unique IQ imbalance of hardware and evaluate its performance through extensive simulations.
