Design requirement 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.

Source paper

This design requirement 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 Principles

design-knowledge/wifi-sharing-payment-channels-dp1

DP1 - Host bandwidth management module

Provide the system with a module for hosts to manage and organize the provided bandwidth in order for the system to provide access to the Internet.

DP2 - Private-network module without shared secret keys

Provide the system with a module for users to initiate and maintain a private network without sharing secret keys in order to prevent decoding of the connection.

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.

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.

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.
