Design principle DP12: Platform-independent protocol

Provide the system with a protocol that is platform-independent in order to avoid lock-in effects and facilitate user adoption and scalability.

Source paper

This design principle is proposed by An Architecture Using Payment Channel Networks for Blockchain-based Wi-Fi Sharing (Christian Janiesch, Marcus Fischer, Florian Imgrund, Adrian Hofmann, Axel Winkelmann, 2023).

2 Design Requirements

design-knowledge/wifi-sharing-payment-channels-dr-au-ac

AU#AC - Application confinement

A Wi-Fi sharing network must limit functionalities, rules, and restrictions that point to application confinement and potentially hamper user adoption.

S#RE - Resource exhaustion

A Wi-Fi sharing network must discourage users from conducting malicious actions using resource exhaustion against the host's shared bandwidth.

An Architecture Using Payment Channel Networks for Blockchain-based Wi-Fi Sharing

The authors derive a comprehensive collection of 14 design principles for workable Wi-Fi sharing networks and propose a reference architecture combining a blockchain (for trust and immutable records) with payment channel networks (for fast, cheap micro-payments), augmenting current approaches with adequate accounting mechanisms.
