An analysis of Bluetooth security vulnerabilities
Creighton Hager, Scott F. Midkiff · 2004
Bluetooth has been developed to provide mobile ad hoc connectivity between a wide range of portable and fixed devices. In this paper, the Bluetooth system is described with an emphasis on its security features and known vulnerabilities. Additional security vulnerabilities were discovered using a scheme called VERDICT. These vulnerabilities are compared to vulnerabilities found in the IEEE 802.11 wireless local area network standard with VERDICT. Vulnerabilities were found as a result of poor improper validation, exposure, and randomness. These vulnerabilities include device address validation, invalid states, and exposed keys.
