At a closer look, all those weaknesses of existing WiFi
sharing approaches result from their centralized structure—
especially from the existence of and the dependency on a
community operator. And this central instance is not only a
danger to the members’ security and privacy—the dependency
of the community on a central operator seems even more
absurd when we recall that a WiFi sharing community is
inherently based on the peer-to-peer concept: equal members
share resources by providing Internet access to each other.
Consequently, we tackle those security issues by removing
the community operator entirely and decentralizing the com-
munity structure.
