Abstract:
Trust over Wi-Fi Direct is a peer-to-peer informa- tion publication, search and retrieval system for mobile ad-hoc networks. In this paper, we present the fundamental design of iTrust over Wi-Fi Direct. Next, we describe the iTrust over Wi-Fi Direct API and components as implemented on the Android platform for mobile devices, and show how user applications can easily interface with the API to gain P2P functionality. Then, we present the iTrust over Wi-Fi Direct networking model, and the interactions between the Android and Linux stacks. iTrust over Wi-Fi Direct addresses the need for sharing of personal information and simultaneously prevents a third party from censoring information and preventing dissemination of information. It enables users with Wi-Fi Direct enabled mobile devices to publish, search for, and retrieve information.
