Certain investigations on security enhancement in bluetooth technology

Abstract

Security issues in wireless adhoc networks are much more complex newlinethan those of more traditional wired or centralized wireless networks newlineBluetooth technology and associated devices are susceptible to general newlinewireless networking threats such as Eavesdropping and Man in the Middle newlineattack MITM They are also threatened by more specific Bluetooth related newlineattacks like Bluejacking and Bluesnarfing that target known vulnerabilities in newlineBluetooth implementations Attacks against improperly secured Bluetooth newlineimplementations provide hackers with unauthorized access to sensitive newlineinformation and unauthorized usage of Bluetooth devices and other systems newlineor networks to which the devices are connected newline newline
