Developing a secure mechanism for Bluetooth-based Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs)

This paper highlights our work in developing an enhanced security framework for Bluetooth-based wireless personal area networks (WPANs). The basic security architecture of Bluetooth, operating at the link layer, is augmented with a higher application layer security mechanism for authentication and m...
