Design and Implementation of Shared Wi-Fi Platform

摘要

Due to the growth of smart phones and mobile communications markets, more and more people use mobile devices to connect the Internet. While 3G/ 4G is now on-service for a while, most network traffic is still transmitted via Wi-Fi. From the above we can know that Wi-Fi is still quite important in mobile networks.There are a lot of Wi-Fi hotspots in the environment, but these Wi-Fi hotspots are usually locked or require account with a password to login. If these locked Wi-Fi passwords or login scripts can be shared with other users in a secure way, the Wi-Fi coverage and usage will be enhanced. In addition, stores that share their Wi-Fi hotspots may also push advertising from Wi-Fi.Based on the above reasons, we propose a required a platform for stores or users to share their own Wi-Fi passwords or login scripts. This paper presents a Wi-Fi sharing platform. Users can easily share their own encrypted Wi-Fi passwords or login script by uploading them to the sharing system. Then other users can connect to the Internet by using the shared password or login script without knowing password in plaintext.
