Design principle DP3: Route users to their private network

Provide the system with a module that provides only bandwidth to the user while users are routed to their private network even if their identity is known, in order to prevent users from conducting fraudulent actions.

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).

7 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.

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

AU#AS - Accessibility of subscribed services

A Wi-Fi sharing network must regulate the accessibility of subscribed services that are made available unintentionally through the Internet Protocol of the access point.

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

AU#LT - Legal risks and tarnished reputation

A Wi-Fi sharing network must address the risks imposed by illegal actions of network users, which can yield losses in reputation or legal implications for hosts.

S#B - Blacklisting

A Wi-Fi sharing network must prevent hosts' access points from becoming blacklisted by external service providers as a result of malicious user behavior.

S#IA - Infrastructure attacks

A Wi-Fi sharing network must prevent network infrastructure attacks conducted by users against the host's network.

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.

S#UPT - User profiling and traceability

A Wi-Fi sharing network's data processing must comply with data protection laws that prohibit techniques for user profiling and activity tracing.

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.
