Bluetooth Issues

Excerpt From Bluetooth Vulnerabilities (Part 2) Webinar

Check out this quick video regarding Bluetooth Issues from CTO, Dr. Brett Walkenhorst

Because Bluetooth runs on flat networks with no central authority, it is challenging to apply security settings consistently to every device. The primary focus on power efficiency in Bluetooth design can occasionally lead to security compromises since low-cost hardware may put energy efficiency ahead of strong security measures. With few feedback methods to guarantee correct authentication and key creation, users may lack awareness and control over security settings. Bluetooth security is made extremely difficult because developers are ultimately responsible for putting security measures into place and maintaining them.
