Bluetooth Networking and its Security Architecture: Analytics of Network Concepts, Security Protocols, Vulnerabilities and Countermeasures

Bluetooth Networking and its Security Architecture: Analytics of Network Concepts, Security Protocols, Vulnerabilities and Countermeasures Review

Bluetooth wireless technology has become an essential part of our modern society. Mobile phones, game controllers, Personal Digital Assistant (PDAs), computers and various electronic gadgets have adapted Bluetooth and made it a popular technology for short range wireless communication. However, as the Bluetooth technology becomes widespread, it has shifted from short range and can now even have long range communication greater than WLANs with the help of extended antennas and so the vulnerabilities in its security protocols have also increased which can be potentially dangerous to the privacy of a user’s personal information. The security issues of Bluetooth has been an active area of research for the past few years. This book presents some vulnerabilities of this technology and proposes some countermeasures. It also provides some tips that end-users can implement immediately to become more cautious about their private information. A fairly new concept is also introduced in this book which uses a secure Bluetooth networking technology in a public environment to enable social networking between multiple users who do not have access to the internet.

Bluetooth Data Exchange over WLAN 802.11b: Analysis and Simulation: Bluetooth-WLAN Integrated Network

Bluetooth Data Exchange over WLAN 802.11b: Analysis and Simulation: Bluetooth-WLAN Integrated Network Review

The thesis focuses on studying of Bluetooth and WLAN technologies to establish Bluetooth – WLAN Integrated Network (BWIN). In particular, it addresses the problem of using WLAN coverage area to exchange data between two Bluetooth devices connected to different piconets. To achieve this goal the process of integration was studied taking in account number of factors: Interference, Noise, software development and incompatibility in packets length and addressing schemes. simulation frameworks developed to simulate the integration process and to give an analytical overview related differences between packets lengths, addressing schemes and modulation techniques used in both wireless technologies. Simulation frameworks also study the effect of Noise (AWGN) and interference in different locations in BWIN. Different issues arise when integrating between Bluetooth and WLAN networks relating to software development such as a piconet formation, performance evaluation and security requirements. These issues are studied and analyzed in this work.

Android and Arduino: Take the Physical World Mobile With the Mega ADK

Android and Arduino: Take the Physical World Mobile With the Mega ADK Review

Getting Started with the Arduino Mega ADK is a thorough overview of what is capable with the official Arduino ADK board. It starts with a very brief explanation of what Arduino and Android are in case the reader is picking this subject up for the first time. Once the reader has a solid grasp of what they'll be working with, the book gives a short overview of all the features included in the Arduino board such as: the purpose of specialized pins (such as analog and digital Input/Output).

After the hardware overview, the reader will learn how to prepare their computer to program hardware with the Arduino IDE, Eclipse (or the Android programming IDE of their choice), and installing the SDK to get access to Google's libraries. Finally the reader will build two or three simple projects to experience how Android and Arduino can talk to each other ver the Arduino Mega ADK's USB Host interface. The book finishes with the reader learning how to access the remaining sensors and features (GPS, Wifi, Bluetooth, NFC, and etc.). When they're done, readers will be able to produce their own polished works of technical art.
