Abstract

Bluetooth is a wireless networking standard that uses radio frequencies to set up a communications link between devices. Bluetooth unites the world of portable, wireless devices under a single standard. But the promises of a Bluetooth-united world have become stuck in the mud of unfounded hyperbole, diminished expectations, and security loopholes. This paper discusses the security loopholes in Bluetooth technology and the vocabulary of new words and phrases to name and describe them.
