Bluetooth Wireless Technology: Security, Low Energy, Vulnerabilities, Threats and Countermeasures

by RED DOT PUBLICATIONS

Bluetooth is an open standard for short-range radio frequency (RF) communication. Bluetooth wireless technology is used primarily to establish wireless personal area networks (WPANs). Bluetooth has been integrated into many types of business and consumer devices, including cell phones, laptops, automobiles, medical devices, printers, keyboards, mice, headsets, and, more recently, medical devices and personal devices (such as smart watches, music speakers, home appliances, fitness monitors, and trackers). This allows users to form ad hoc networks between a wide variety of devices to transfer voice and data. This document provides an overview of Bluetooth wireless technology and discusses related security concerns.Bluetooth wireless technology and associated devices are susceptible to general wireless networking threats, such as denial of service (DoS) attacks, eavesdropping, man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks, message modification, and resource misappropriation. They are also threatened by more specific attacks related to Bluetooth wireless technology that target known vulnerabilities in Bluetooth implementations and specifications. Attacks against improperly secured Bluetooth implementations can provide attackers with unauthorized access to sensitive information and unauthorized use of Bluetooth devices and other systems or networks to which the devices are connected.
