Abstract

Bluetooth is a new RF short range wireless personnel Area Network (PAN) which is designed for wireless communication between different devices. Starting from the headset cable replacement it has been extended to support flexible ad-hoc networks. It is gaining increasing popularity and acceptance in the world today. The current data rate for Bluetooth is 1 Mbps. However, as Bluetooth technology is becoming widespread, vulnerabilities in its security are increasing which can be dangerous to the user’s personal information. This study first gives some background information about Bluetooth system and presents the malicious intervention about the attacks on devices while connecting with other devices during the exchange of data and then it concentrates on specific security measures mainly authentication, encryption.

Keywords: Bluetooth security, pairing, malicious attackers, network security, Man-in-the-middle attack (MIM).
