RESUMO
Wearable devices are starting to gain popularity, which means that a large portion of the population is starting to acquire these products. This kind of technology comes with a lot of advantages, as it simplifies different tasks people do daily. However, as they recollect sensitive data, they are starting to be targets for cybercriminals. The number of attacks on wearable devices forces manufacturers to improve the security of these devices to protect them. Many vulnerabilities have appeared in communication protocols, specifically Bluetooth. We focus on understanding the Bluetooth protocol and what countermeasures have been applied during their updated versions to solve the most common security problems. We have performed a passive attack on six different smartwatches to discover their vulnerabilities during the pairing process. Furthermore, we have developed a proposal of requirements needed for maximum security of wearable devices, as well as the minimum requirements needed to have a secure pairing process between two devices via Bluetooth.
