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:

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

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.

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.

Server in

Security Low

Client in Security Low

Client in Security Medium

Client in Security High

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.

No security. Can browse

High. Security is enforced at link level before setup connection.

Server in Security Medium

services. Accessing service depends on the settings of local services.

High. Security is enforced at link level before setup connection.

Server in Security High

High. Security is enforced at link level before setup connection.

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:

All specifications are preliminary and subject to change without notice.

16

IVT BlueSoleil™ User Manual

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.

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.

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.

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.

Security Level

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.

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.

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 paired with the other device before connecting, you can connect with the other device directly. (A link key has been created and stored for the paired relationship. Link key is used instead of Bluetooth passkey here.)

Bluetooth Passkey

Set Default Passkey If you check Set Default Passkey, you needn't input passkey manually. BlueSoleil will use the passkey inputted in the edit box below to connect with other devices.

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:

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

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

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.

All specifications are preliminary and subject to change without notice.

22

IVT BlueSoleil™ User Manual

Figure 4.3: Access LAN through BlueSoleil NAP

Two or more computers (or PDAs) can access the Internet through BlueSoleil!. (Figure 4.4) In this scenario, there are two network adapters for the BlueSoleil NAP: the WAN adapter is connected to the Internet and the BT network adapter is used for Bluetooth connections from the PANUs. The BlueSoleil NAP acts as a TCP/IP gateway, and the PANUs can access the Internet through the BlueSoleil NAP.

Figure 4.4: Access Internet through BlueSoleil NAP

Each of these scenarios is now covered in more detail.

4.2 Communication Between Two Computers

This section outlines the steps involved in connecting two computers, Computer A and Computer B.

Advanced Usage:

Computer A is now the center node. Other computers, for example, Computers C, D and E, can connect to Computer A with BlueSoleil! following the same steps as those for Computer B. Computer A supports up to 7 connections at the same time.

Computer A, B, C, D and E can access each other using the Windows Network

Places. This forms a Bluetooth ad-hoc networking environment.

Note: It takes about 1 minute before an IP address can be obtained on the client

side (Computer B) unless you select to enable the DHCP server on the server side (Computer A).

Note: When Computer A connects to Ethernet PAN-NAP B it accesses the LAN as if it is attached to the LAN directly. The network properties of Computer A must be the same as the computers in the LAN, that is, Computer A and the computers in the LAN must be in the same subnet and have the same subnet mask. For example, if the computers in the LAN use DHCP for IP addressing, then Computer A needs to be configured to use DHCP. If the IP address is configured manually on the computers in the LAN, then Computer A also needs to be configured manually.

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:

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

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 computer. (See $Section 8.4: Settings for LAN Access Profile (client side) in Windows98/Me%). Moreover, every operating system should have an installation of NetBEUI protocol; otherwise, it cannot use computer name to visit other computer.
