Abstract
In this paper, we discuss the remaining security risk of Wi-Fi AP spoofing with current AP joining approaches and how a new solution has been developed as part of the ULOOP project in order to be more user-friendly and secure. It was an important step for increased security because our evaluation shows that even computer aware users do not know or do not bother about this issue although it is a real risk that current approaches do not solve.
