Cross-Platform P2P Wi-Fi: How the EU Killed AWDL

The interesting question is authentication/authorization - at the moment, macOS greatly simplifies this as long as both devices belong to the same Apple ID. On the opposite side, Samsung does the same.

How will that work out?

For something like AirDrop this will need to be sorted out, but already work occurred to reverse engineer this: https://github.com/seemoo-lab/opendrop

Would be cool if an open standard on auth forms on top of this.

For this to succeed I think we need a C implementation that can be used by many languages and runtimes.
