About:
Charon aims to make it easy to start reselling Internet access via WiFi
access point. It installs onto a Linksys WiFi access point (or similar
Linux device) and manages automatic price and access negotiation with
local wireless customers, charging them via the mikolaj.cx
settlement/micropayment system. It will ultimately provide secure and
fraud-resistant access by utilizing cash-based settlement, reputation
tracking, and PKI-based non-repudiable contracts, to protect both the
end-user and the access provider.
Changes:
On the server side, this release is ipkg-installable with all dependencies
on any mipsel OpenWRT device. Documentation and examples are provided for
configuration, iptables integration, and more. Basic walled garden is
supplied for user education. On the client side, there is a new, small,
single-file Java client (kickstart) that downloads all missing JAR
dependencies from the local Java install, creates a mikolaj.cx identity,
and manages the initial funds transfer through mikolaj.cc, and completes
the Charon negotiation for internet access.
Release focus: Major feature enhancements
