BLUETOOTH SECURITY THREATS
Journal Title: International Journal of Computer Science & Engineering Technology - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Bluetooth technology has become an integral part of this modern society. The availability of mobile phones, game controllers, Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) and personal computers has made Bluetooth a popular technology for short range wireless communication. However, as the Bluetooth technology becomes widespread, vulnerabilities in its security protocols are increasing which can be potentially dangerous to the privacy of a user’s personal information. The proliferation of the Bluetooth devices in the workplace exposes organizations to security risks. Bluetooth technology and associated devices are susceptible to general wireless networking threats, such as denial of service attack, eavesdropping, man-in-the-middle attacks, message modification, and resource misappropriation. Preventing unauthorized users from secure communication is a challenge to the pairing process.
