TWO PRACTICAL ATTACKS AGAINST BLUETOOTH SECURITY USING NEW ENHANCED IMPLEMENTATIONS OF SECURITY ANALYSIS TOOLS

摘要

Bluetooth is an open specification for short range wireless ad-hoc communication. As an interconnection technology, Bluetooth has to address all the traditional security problems, well known from the distributed networks but on a new level because security issues in ad-hoc networks are much more complex than those of more traditional distributed networks. Moreover, Bluetooth networks are formed by the radio links, which means that there are also additional security aspects whose impact is yet not well understood. New, enhanced implementations of two existing Bluetooth security analysis tools and two new attacks against Bluetooth security as well as the most feasible countermeasures are presented in the paper. A laboratory environment in which these new attacks against Bluetooth security have been performed is also described.
