A method (and structure) to connect a mobile device to a local Wi-Fi network includes providing an input capability for a user of the mobile device to request to make a connection to a local Wi-Fi network. A processor on the mobile device retrieves, from a memory device of the mobile device, a listing of registered local Wi-Fi networks available at the user's current location. A request to connect to a selected one of the registered local Wi-Fi networks listed on the retrieved listing of registered local Wi-Fi networks is transmitted from the mobile device. The mobile device is connected to the selected registered local Wi-Fi network upon receipt of an indication by the selected registered local Wi-Fi network that the user has been validated and verified as trustable.

Trusted method for consuming and sharing Wi-Fi internet access

A trust rating is computed for a data requester across one or more dimensions by identifying the data requester, collecting information regarding the data requester from one or more sources, and generating the trust rating for the data requester across the one or more dimensions based on the collected information. The trust rating is utilized to either grant or deny a request by the data requester to access data associated with one or more data providers.
