Reliability and safety of BlueTooth communication in case of an external attack

Vladislav Bouška

Bachelor's thesis

Abstract:

Abstract: Aim of this work is to describe different attacks and vulnerabilities of the Bluetooth technology together with the defense against these attacks. Besides these different attacks, this thesis also goes over the history, development, and the function of the Bluetooth technology together with the principles of its function. Although Bluetooth is a very widespread topic to cover, this thesis covers necessary basics for the understanding of how Bluetooth and its components work. Together with the basics of Bluetooth functionality, this thesis also covers Bluetooth’s security mechanism and how these mechanisms work together, to create relatively secure and reliable wireless protocol for the transport of data. Besides that, this work also covers ways of attacking the aforementioned security mechanism and design errors which enables potential attackers to either go around these mechanisms, or even use them to compromise a Bluetooth link.
