Syed Masud Mahmud, Shobhit Shanker · 2003
During the last several years, the interest in wireless networking has grown significantly due to the availability of many wireless products, such as cell phones, wireless mice, wireless keyboards, wireless modems, Bluetooth enabled laptops, etc. Bluetooth is a new technology standard for shortrange (10-100m) wireless communications. Having a Bluetooth network in a vehicular system will allow dealers and law-enforcing people to access (remotely) different types of vehicle parameters, such as speed, acceleration, position, emission, tire pressure, etc, through Bluetooth enabled devices. In-vehicle Bluetooth networks will also allow vehicles to communicate with other nearby vehicles on highways and freeways in order to avoid impending collisions and safely change lanes. The passengers of a vehicle can also access private information, e.g. email, fax, banking transactions etc., using Bluetooth enabled access points to the internet. The problem with standard Bluetooth systems is the security. In this paper we have presented a technique to build a secured in-vehicle wireless network
