3 Bluetooth Security

3.1 Introduction

Bluetooth introduces security features to protect users from unauthorized access of

local data and encrypt data in the air. Three levels of security is defined in

Bluetooth:

i Low (no security): Local device will not initiate any security procedure.

i Medium (service-level enforced security): Local device does not initiate

security procedures before user access local Bluetooth services. This mode

allows different and flexible access policies for Bluetooth applications,

especially running applications with different security requirements in parallel.

i High(device level enforced security): Local device initiates security procedures

as long as the remote Bluetooth device set-up link, for example, browsing local

services etc.

Following table shows the security when Bluetooth client device access another

Bluetooth device that provides services.

When security is enforced at device level or a local service requires, an

Authentication procedure is required. Both of Bluetooth client and server side

need enter a Bluetooth passkey to confirm the client user's identity.

To avoid entering Bluetooth passkey every time, two Bluetooth devices can be set

up paring relationship, that is to save the relationship after Authentication. After

Authentication, the Bluetooth link can be encrypted if necessary.

Authorization is used in Security Medium (service-level enforced security), to set

which devices can use the local service and which cannot. The following are some

concept of bluetooth security:

IVT BlueSoleil™ User Manual

All specifications are preliminary and subject to change without notice.

i Authentication

Authentication is used to verify identity; it requires a passkey or link key from

the remote device. When an Authentication procedure is initiated by either local

device or remote device, a dialog is shown to ask for entering Bluetooth

Passkey. Only when passkeys from both sides are identical, can

authentication succeed.

i Authorization

Bluetooth authorization is the procedure to decide whether you are going to

allow some other Bluetooth devices to use Bluetooth services on your Bluetooth

devices. This procedure takes function in Bluetooth security Medium and

applies to Bluetooth services only.

i Encryption

When a Bluetooth link is encrypted, data are encrypted into unreadable data

using a secret key or password before they are sent in the air. Data are

decrypted after they reach the remote device using the same key or password

that was used to encrypt it.

i Pairing Devices

Pairing allows you to avoid entering access information each time a connection

is setup. Paired devices share a unique Link Key, which they exchange each

time they connect.

3.2 BlueSoleil Security Configuration

The BlueSoleil security configuration involves the policy setting of the local device's

security, it comprises the following items:

i Low

When Low is checked, normally other devices may access your device freely,

which means that they don't need to input the Bluetooth passkey. However, if

the other device set its own security level to High, you are also required to input

the passkey.

i Medium

The medium level is service level security. You can assign access right for

specified service to different devices. For more detail, to see Services Property

Page.

i High

When other devices connect to your device or your device connects with other

devices, you are required to input a Bluetooth passkey. If your device has been

4 Personal Area Networking

4.1 Introduction

The Bluetooth Personal Area Networking (PAN) is a Bluetooth application, which

enables devices to form an ad-hoc network or to access a remote network through

a network access point.

The PAN application can be used in the following scenarios:

i Two or more computers (or PDAs) can be connected to form a Group Ad-hoc

Network (GN) and can visit each other using Windows Network Places or any

application based on TCP/IP. (Figure 4.1)

Figure 4.1: Group Ad-hoc Network

i Two or more computers (or PDAs) can access a Local Area Network through a

Network Access Point (NAP) bridge. (Figure 4.2) After the computers or PDAs

connect to the PAN-NAP, they become members of the LAN and can

communicate with other computers in the LAN directly.

Figure 4.2: Access LAN through PAN-NAP

i Two or more computers (or PDAs) can access a Local Area Network through

BlueSoleil™. ˄Figure 4.3˅ After the PANUs connect to the BlueSoleil NAP, they

become members of the LAN and can communicate with other computers in the

LAN directly.

8 LAN Access

8.1 Introduction

The Bluetooth LAN Access Profile (LAP) allows Bluetooth-enabled devices to access

the services of a LAN using Point-to-Point Protocol. In this usage model, multiple

data terminals use a LAN access point as a wireless connection to a Local Area

Network (LAN). Once connected, data terminals operate as if they are connected to

the LAN via dial-up networking and can access all the services provided by the LAN.

The LAN application can be used in the following scenarios:

i A computer (or PDA) accesses a Local Area Network via a LAP Server.

i A computer (or PDA) accesses a Local Area Network via a LAN access point.

Note: Before using the LAN Access Profile in Windows98/Me, ensure that a

Dial-up Adapter and Windows’s component direct cable are already installed on the
