Bluetooth Security Attacks Comparative Analysis, Attacks, and Countermeasures [Paperback]

Bluetooth technology has enjoyed tremendous success, and it's now employed in billions of devices for short-range wireless data and real-time audio or video transfer. In this book the authors provide an overview of Bluetooth security. They examine network vulnerabilities and provide a literature-review comparative analysis of recent security attacks. They analyze and explain related countermeasures, including one based on secure simple pairing, and they also propose a novel attack that works against all existing Bluetooth versions. They conclude with a discussion on future research directions.

The book is appropriate for practitioners and researchers in information security, in particular those engaged in the design of networked and mobile devices.

This overview of Bluetooth security examines network vulnerabilities and offers a comparative analysis of recent security attacks. It also examines related countermeasures and proposes a novel attack that works against all existing Bluetooth versions.Chap. 1 - Introduction.- Chap. 2 - Overview of Bluetooth Security.- Chap. 3 - Bluetooth Network Vulnerabilities.- Chap. 4 - Comparative Analysis of Bluetooth Security Attacks.- Chap. 5 - Meet-in-the-Middle (MITM) Attacks on Bluetooth.- Chap. 6 - Countermeasures.- Chap. 7 - New Practical Attack.- Chap. 8 - Conclusion and Future Work References.
