Abstract:
A processor-implemented method including scanning wirelessly by a plurality of mobile devices and selecting a plurality of wireless access points based on the scanning by the plurality of mobile devices. Particular attributes of the plurality of wireless access points are determined, and the particular attributes of the plurality of wireless access points are compared. A particular set of the plurality of wireless access points are grouped based on the comparing of the particular attributes, and a particular geographic location is assigned to the particular set of the plurality of wireless access points. A particular security protocol is assigned to the particular geographic location based on the particular attributes of the particular set of the plurality of wireless access points. A particular mobile device is determined to be positioned within a particular distance of the particular geographic location, and wireless communication of the particular mobile device is restricted.
