The approach also involves communicating one or more authentication requests to each of the available wireless network access points requesting a corresponding access point certificate. The approach further involves processing one or more of one or more received root certificates, one or more received certificate revocation lists, and one or more received access point certificates, the one or more access point certificates being received in response to the one or more authentication requests, to determine an authenticity status of each of the one or more available wireless network access points.
