我们提出了一种新的将设备与国内无线网络安全关联的方法--Multinet。我们表明，与当前部署的商业解决方案相比，Multinet具有可用性优势，同时向后兼容现有设备。通过关注用户的交互而不是网络的需求，Multinet减少了安全关联的交互开销。这导致了家庭网络基础设施的一种新颖的架构安排：网络被动态地重新配置以接受每个预配置的设备，而不是其中每个设备被配置为对预配置的网络可接受的当前规范。假设设备预先配置了唯一的、特定于设备的网络名称和密码，则Multinet会通过中间网络控制器设备构建带外可视通道，以将设备的配置传送到网络。这使得将设备加入无线网络的交互变得轻量级，并且在所有设备上都是相同的，从而大大减少了用户的交互开销。
We present MultiNet, a novel method for securely associating devices with a domestic wireless network. We show that MultiNet has usability benefits over currently deployed commercial solutions while being backwards compatible with existing devices. MultiNet reduces the interaction overhead of secure association by focusing on users' interactions rather than the network's requirements. This leads to a novel architectural arrangement of the home network infrastructure: the network is dynamically re-configured to accept each pre-configured device, rather than the current norm where each device is configured to be acceptable to the pre-configured network. Assuming devices are pre-configured for a unique, device-specific network name and passphrase, MultiNet constructs an out-of-band visual channel via an intermediary network controller device to convey the device's configuration to the network. This makes the interaction to join a device to the wireless network lightweight and identical across all devices, considerably reducing the interaction overheads for users.
