Bluetooth Security By Colleen Rhodes Graduate Student, East Carolina University Bluetooth Security 2 Abstract Bluetooth provides a short range wireless communication between devices making it convenient for users and thus eliminating the need for messy cables. According to Bluetooth Special Interest Group (2006), —Bluetooth wireless technology is the most widely supported, versatile, and secure wireless standard on the market today.“ Bluetooth operates in the open 2.4 GHz ISM band and is —now found in a vast array of products such as input devices, printers, medical devices, VoIP phones, whiteboards, and surveillance cameras. [However], the proliferation of these devices in the workplace exposes organizations to security risks.“ (Detecting Bluetooth Security Vulnerabilities, 2005) This paper will explain what Bluetooth is, how it works, and some of the vulnerabilities and risks associated with it. Bluetooth Security 3 What is Bluetooth? In the past, the only way to connect computers together for the purpose of sharing information and/or resources was to connect them via cables. This can be not only cumbersome to set up, but it can get messy real quick. Bluetooth provides a solution to this problem by providing a cable-free environment. According to the official Bluetooth website, www.bluetooth.com, Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range communications technology intended to replace the cables connecting portable and/ore fixed devices while maintaining high levels of security. The key features of Bluetooth technology are robustness, low power, and low cost. The Bluetooth specification defines a uniform structure for a wide range of devices to connect and communicate with each other. —The idea behind Bluetooth technology was born in 1994, when a team of researchers at Ericsson Mobile Communications…initiated a feasibility study of universal short-range, low-power wireless connectivity as a way of eliminating cables between mobile ...
