Security Issues for Wearable Computing and Bluetooth Technology

PublisherHelsinki University of Technology
Format154.4KB PDFDate added19 May 2006
Topics Bluetooth, Network Security, Mobile - Wireless Communications

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless cable replacement technology enabling restricted types of ad hoc networks to be formed. All the while, a need for connecting wearable devices, such as PDAs, mobile phones, and mp3-players, is rising. Such networks may be formed using Bluetooth technology, but issues such as security must be taken into consideration. Although an attempt to tackle security is made, the result is too weak to be used for anything else than for personal purposes.
