Synopsis

The DoD and the Air Force continually seek to incorporate new technology in an effort to improve communication, work effectiveness, and efficiency. Office devices utilizing Bluetooth technology simplify device configuration and communication. They provide a means to communicate wirelessly over short distances thereby eliminating the need for different vendor specific cables and interfaces. One of the key concerns involved in incorporating new communication technology is security; the fundamental security concern of wireless communication is interception. Studies focusing on IEEE 802.11b have shown vulnerability zones around many DoD installations that reflect the ranges at which wireless communications using the 802.11b standard can be intercepted. This research identifies the vulnerability zones in which Bluetooth transmissions can potentially be intercepted. Specifically, the orientation of Bluetooth device antenna and the distance between devices are varied to determine ranges at which set levels of throughput can be achieved for a specific device configuration. Throughput ranges are then mapped to graphically reflect vulnerability zones. This research shows that the range at which Bluetooth communication can occur with unmodified devices is more than twice that of the minimum standard of 10 m outlined in the core specification without degradation of the best-case throughput level measured. It is expected that the throughput ranges could be greatly extended with some device modification. This research shows that the security risk associated with interception of Bluetooth communications is legitimate and warrants further study.
