On Bluetooth security

چکیده
In this paper we discuss several aspects of the security of Bluetooth. Apart from security, several privacy issues linked to the use of Bluetooth protocols are also discussed. The focus is on the lower layer protocols, called the core Bluetooth protocols, thus security aspects of application profiles are left out of the scope of this document. We give a summary of the networking protocols of Bluetooth and try to describe in detail the security protocols. Are these protocol secure enough? Known attacks to the protocols and several privacy issues suggest not. The individual algorithms such as the stream algorithm and also the protocols they operate under seem to be vulnerable to multiple kind of attacks. As such the Bluetooth protocols alone should not be used to ensure authenticity or privacy.

متن کاملA Service-Level Security Protocol for Bluetooth Scatternets
Bluetooth is the term used to describe the protocol of short-range, and frequency hopping radio link between devices. Bluetooth enables users to connect wirelessly to a wide range of computing and communication devices easily and it provides opportunities for rapid ad hoc connections. In this type of networks, security is one of the main issues. Bluetooth link-level security provides authentica...
متن کاملA Proposed Bluetooth Service-level Security
Bluetooth security has become increasingly important since Bluetooth is going to be used as a standard technology in wireless personal communication. This is especially true for Bluetooth applications that require strong security policies, e.g. mobile commerce applications. In this paper, a Bluetooth service-level security that allows easy implementation of flexible access policies is proposed....
