"Bluetooth's Complexity Has Become a Security Risk"

Bluetooth security vulnerabilities arise on account of the protocol's complexity. The documentation for the Bluetooth standard is significantly longer and more comprehensive than the material provided for other wireless protocols, making it increasingly complex and difficult for manufacturers to handle. According to Ken Kolderup, vice president of marketing at the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), the standard's documentation is extensive because it defines a radio frequency for the standard and covers components of hardware, applications, and more, in order to ensure that interoperability between Bluetooth devices is enabled. This article continues to discuss vulnerabilities associated with the Bluetooth standard, the complexity of the Bluetooth standard, recent discoveries in relation to Bluetooth implementation and configuration issues, and how the Bluetooth SIG plans to help improve to the security of Bluetooth implementations.
