Abstract :
A Bluetooth ad hoc network can be formed by interconnecting piconets. The security of the process of Bluetooth scatternet formation is a major factor to guarantee the applications of Bluetooth network. Through the analysis of the characteristics of Bluetooth scatternet formation algorithm and Bluetooth´s security architecture, this paper gives out a scheme for Bluetooth scatternet security based on BTCP. It can defeat man-in-the-middle attack and achieve authentication in the process of forming a scatternet.
