British researchers have proposed to create a Wi-Fi- cooperative

British researchers at Cambridge University are developing a new system by which to connect to the World Wide Web can be used other people's channels and Wi-Fi.
The essence of the new project, as reported by New Scientist, is the following. For users wishing to become members of the Wi-Fi- cooperative, first need to download a special program that allows the router to make a public hotspot. Next, the system will have to register and receive a unique name that will be required for subsequent identification.
If the user then wants to connect to the Internet through a router other member of the Wi-Fi- cooperative, he will need to enter your name. After verifying the identity of the system will immediately address ' borrowed ' the router 's own router user, and all the data packets will be processed within a.
Authors of the project, and John Kroukroft Nishant Sastry pointed out that their system provides the necessary security. Due to the tunneling of requests for a subscriber of your own router if necessary, we will always be to establish his identity. Yes, and steal the traffic in this case, members of the cooperative can not.
