Assume you are designing a Wi-Fi hotspot for a local coffee shop. List any network security and design concerns that must be considered before opening it up to the public.

Solution

1. Authentication & user identification: User\'s should authenticate themselves using their mobile number / email and OTP. This will help in detecting any malicious activity by an user.

2. Encryption: The channel between the client and the wifi hotspot should be encrypted using any standard protocol to prevent any third party from intercepting the packets sent over the network

3. Limit the maximum number of connections and per user speed. This is necessary to prevent any denial-of-service (DoS) attack on the wifi hotspot and fair distribution of bandwidth amongst users
