BLUETOOTH

by SHEBIN.A.KHALAM

What is Bluetooth? 



A wireless technology that was introduced five years ago; It was designed to replace cables that connect electronic equipment

Features  





Inexpensive Doesn’t require anything special to make it work It communicates on a frequency of 2.45 Ghz (the same frequency as baby monitors and garage door openers Uses low power and spread-spectrum frequency hopping

Future Features   

Further power optimization Security enhancements Quality of service

Interference Avoidance Method #1 

Low power • Limits the range to about 10 meters • Signal is weak at 1 milliwatt (compared to cell phones at 3 watts)

Interference Avoidance Method #2 

Spread-Spectrum Frequency Hopping • Uses 79 individual, randomly chosen frequencies within a designated range (compared to Japan, which uses 23 frequencies) • Changes frequencies 1,600 times every second • Each channel is divided into time slots 625 microseconds long

Bluetooth/ZigBee Similarities Both: • Are types of IEEE 802.5 “wireless personal-area networks” • Run in the 2.4 Ghz frequency band • Use small form factors and low power

Bluetooth/ZigBee Differences 











Modulation technique • •

B: Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum Z: Direct Sequence Spread Hopping

• •

B: 250 kbyte Z: 28 kbyte

• •

B: intended for frequent recharging Z: not rechargeable

• •

B: 1 Mbit/s Z: 250 kbits/s

• •

B: 1 or 100 meters Z: up to 70 meters

• •

B: 3 seconds Z: 30 miliseconds

Protocol stack size Battery

Maximum network speed Network range

Typical network join time

Bluetooth/ZigBee 

Bluetooth is aimed toward: • User mobility • Eliminating short distance cabling



ZigBee is aimed toward: • More grand-scale automation • Remote control

Security 

Bluetooth Security Experts Group: • A group of engineers from the member companies that make up the Bluetooth Special Interest Group • Provide critical security information and feedback as the specification evolves

Security 

Product developers have several options for implementing security: • Three modes of security for Bluetooth access between two devices: Non-secure  Service-level enforced  Link-level enforced 

Security 

Bluetooth devices have two levels of security: • Trusted device has unrestricted access to all services • Untrusted device



Services have three levels of security: • Those that require authorization and authentication • Those that require authorization only • Those that are open to all devices

Security Breaches: Bluebugging Allows skilled individuals to access the mobile phone commands using Bluetooth wireless technology without notifying or alerting the phone’s user as long as the hacker is within a 10 meter range of the phone Allows the hacker to initiate phone calls, read and write phonebook contacts, eavesdrop on conversations and connect to the Internet

Security Breaches: Bluesnarfing Allows hackers to gain access to data stored on Bluetooth enabled phone using Bluetooth wireless technology without alerting the phone’s user of the connection made Without specialized equipment, the hacker must be in a 10 meter range of the device while running a device with specialized software Only specific older Bluetooth enabled phones are susceptible ker is within a 10 meter range of the phone

Security Solutions 



The manufacturers of the vulnerable phones have developed software patches to fix the problem The device can be set to the nondiscoverable mode when not using Bluetooth technology or when in an unknown area
