Demonstrating vulnerabilities in Bluetooth security

Creighton Hager, Scott F. Midkiff · 2004

The Bluetooth radio system has been developed to provide mobile ad-hoc connectivity between a wide range of portable and fixed devices. This paper describes the security features of the Bluetooth system and presents an experimental analysis of security vulnerabilities. Vulnerabilities were found as a result of improper validation, exposure, and randomness using a scheme called VERDICT. These vulnerabilities include device address validation, invalid states, and exposed keys.
