Abstract :
Bluetooth is a wireless network protocol widely used for many mobile devices. With carrying some Bluetooth devices, individuals are in the risk to be identified without noticing. Many devices are shipped as Bluetooth activated as default. This paper reports the experimental results on scanning Mac address of bluetooth devices and shows the risk of location privacy to be compromised from the bluetooth scanning.
