The pairing protocol is the process of connection establishment in Bluetooth. This process supplies the ground for all of the security and privacy features provided by Bluetooth. Failing to secure this process compromises the entire Bluetooth session.
Our new attack provides a new technique for attacking the Bluetooth pairing protocol by manipulating specific messages, without being detected by the victim devices. Our attack relies on a newly discovered protocol design flaws.
