Design Principle

DP4 - Restrict user access to the host's infrastructure

Provide the system with a module to restrict user access to the host's private network infrastructure even if the user's identity is known, in order to prevent fraudulent actions.

Design principle DP4: Restrict user access to the host's infrastructure

Provide the system with a module to restrict user access to the host's private network infrastructure even if the user's identity is known, in order to prevent 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).

4 Design Requirements

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#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.
