Bluetooth Security at NECS Winter School

This lecture overviews recent and impactful research on Bluetooth security and privacy. We will cover protocol-level vulnerabilities in the Bluetooth specification affecting billions of devices, such as KNOB, BIAS, BLUR, and BLUFFS.

Moreover, we will explore works about insecure and proprietary protocols built on Bluetooth, including BreakMi exploiting Xiaomi and Fitbit fitness tracker protocols and E-Spoofer compromising Xiaomi’s electric scooter protocols.

While presenting our research works, we will also teach basic and advanced concepts about the security and privacy of IoT protocols.
