Abstract :
Bluetooth is a WPAN standard that is moderately secure but still has weaknesses in its security architecture, making it vulnerable to attacks by malicious intruders. With its ever-growing popularity as a standard technology in wireless personal networks, Bluetooth security has become an increasingly important aspect. In this paper, we propose an improvement in service-level security architecture of Bluetooth that prevent ´location attack´ and ´sleep deprivation torture´.
