Just like any other mesh network, a Bluetooth Low Energy mesh faces many security threats. Mesh networks are very useful for small and large applications. In mesh networks, each intermediary node acts as a router to transmit traffic among peers if the destination node is not directly connected to the sender host. The formation of these nodes is considered reliable, and because of this, it is very hard to detect the presence of an intruder in the network.
BLE mesh security is becoming a hot issue among researchers as it is open to many attacks. As Bluetooth Low Energy promises a strong future in IoT, it is becoming very popular. But without providing concrete prevention against threats, it will be very difficult ...
