KrackCover: A wireless security framework for covering KRACK attacks

Abstract

This paper proposes KrackCover, a wireless security framework that assists in the detection of a KRACK attack with suggestions to enhance the privacy of end-users. Within KrackCover, Wi-Fi end users get an alert with suggestions when a KRACK attack is launched. Furthermore, we conduct real-world experiments by collecting data in open Wi-Fi environments including coffee shops and public libraries. Moreover, our experimental data analysis shows the applicability and effectiveness of KrackCover in the wild.
