Design, implementation and security analysis of Bluetooth pairing protocol in NS2

Secure Simple Pairing (SSP), a characteristic of the Bluetooth Core Version 2.1 specification was build to address two foremost concerns amongst the Bluetooth user community: security and simplicity of the pairing process. It utilizes Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellmen (ECDH) protocol for generating keys for the first time in Bluetooth pairing. It provides the security properties known session key security, forward security, resistance to key-compromise impersonation attack and to unknown key-share attack, key control. This paper presents the simulation and security analysis of Bluetooth pairing protocol for numeric comparison using ECDH in NS2. The protocol also employs SAGEMATH for cryptographic functions.
