This paper describes the implementation of an attack on the Bluetooth security mechanism. Specifically, it describes a passive attack, in which an attacker can find the PIN used during the pairing process. The paper then describes the cracking speed one can achieve through three optimizations methods. The fastest optimization employs an algebraic representation of a central cryptographic primitive (SAFER+) used in Bluetooth. The results show that a 4-digit PIN can be cracked in less than 0.3 sec on an old Pentium III 450MHz computer, and in 0.06 sec on a Pentium IV 3Ghz HT computer.
