SAM: Security Adaptation Manager

In the trade-o s between security and performance, it seems that security is always the loser. If we allow for adaptive security, we can at least ensure that security and performance are treated somewhat equally. Using adaptive security, we can allow a system to exist in a less secure, more performant state until it comes under attack. We the adapt the system to a more secure, less performant i...

Security of Bluetooth: An overview of Bluetooth Security

The purpose of this paper is to give an overview of Bluetooth security and how it was designed. At the end there is also a short discussion of its weaknesses on a general level.

Bluetooth Security Threats

Bluetooth technology has become an integral part of this modern society. The availability of mobile phones, game controllers, Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) and personal computers has made Bluetooth a popular technology for short range wireless communication. However, as the Bluetooth technology becomes widespread, vulnerabilities in its security protocols are increasing which can be potentia...

Security Weaknesses in Bluetooth

We point to three types of potential vulnerabilities in the Bluetooth standard, version 1.0B. The first vulnerability opens up the system to an attack in which an adversary under certain circumstances is able to determine the key exchanged by two victim devices, making eavesdropping and impersonation possible. This can be done either by exhaustively searching all possible PINs (but without inte...
