Title Bluetooth Security
Date 2020
Description Bluetooth technology can be found in most smart devices today. Bluetooth can be used anywhere from cars to wireless mice to pass information between two or more devices. Since many Bluetooth connections are insecure, open and allow foreign devices to send and receive data or instructions from the local device, security is a large concern. Sensitive information, including financial, medical and phone calls, is commonly transmitted using Bluetooth, making the security of that communication vital. Bluetooth has security flaws which allow adversaries to read information being transmitted, trick devices into connecting to malicious devices and modify information sent between devices. This thesis will be overviewing the primary concerns with Bluetooth devices and current vulnerabilities, along with security recommendations.
