Design Principle

DP6 - Tamper-proof transaction history via trusted intermediary

Provide the system with a mutually trusted intermediary requiring a transaction history that records a user's data traffic, resource consumption and incurred costs, in order to ensure that connection data cannot be manipulated or corrupted.

2 Design Requirements

design-knowledge/wifi-sharing-payment-channels-dr-ar-ro

AR#RO - Risk of overcharging

A Wi-Fi sharing network must prevent the risk of overcharging users through failure of service invoicing.

design-knowledge/wifi-sharing-payment-channels-dr-s-fa

S#FA - Fraudulent access points

A Wi-Fi sharing network must account for the risks imposed by fraudulent access points emulating a fake Service Set Identifier (SSID), which can be used to intercept connections between users and access points.

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.
