Indescribably Blue: Bluetooth Low Energy Threat Landscape

Christopher Skallak, Silvie Schmidt

Abstract

This paper elaborates security vulnerabilities of Bluetooth Low Energy. The STRIDE process is used to builld a threat model in order to identify these vulnerabilites. These range from packet sniffing on the physical layer to sophisticated Machine-in-the-Middle attacks that are built upon address spoofing and jamming attacks. The proposed threat model also identifies the optional and mandatory dependencies between the attack vectors. Furthermore, we elaborate the attack vectors aligned to the BLE stack.
