SECURITY THREAT AND REQUIREMENTS OF WIRELESS PAN

Bluetooth offers several benefits and advantages. However, organizations must not only address the security threats associated with Bluetooth before they implement the technologies; they must also measure the vulnerabilities of the devices they allow to participate in the Bluetooth networks. Specifically, agencies need to address security concerns for confidentiality, data integrity, and network availability. Moreover, since Bluetooth devices are more likely to be managed by users that are less security conscious than administrators, they are more likely to contribute to uncontrolled security drifts. This subsection will briefly cover some of the risks to security, i.e., attacks on confidentiality, integrity, and network availability.
