7. Strong Data Security over Bluetooth

New wireless data security guidelines are being discussed by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard,

PCI DSS. Currently, with the formation of a Special Interest Group, SIG, they are reviewing the security needs and

weaknesses found in WiFi wireless networks used for payment applications. Bluetooth, is also gaining strong market

acceptance in the payments industry, and similar guidelines will likely be applied soon.

In order to advance Bluetooth wireless applications into this area now, Amp’ed RF is presenting a scheme for strong

data security over a Bluetooth system, BlueGuard, described in this paper.

3-DES Encryption

BlueGuard uses a 3-DES cipher, with a 16 byte, double length key strength. A 24 byte key is also optional. This

fulfils the FIPS 140-2, Level 3 requirements for encryption algorithm and key strength.

The native link level security of Bluetooth is not sufficiently strong for the PCI industry.
