Abstract
Bluetooth Smart 4.2 or Bluetooth Low Energy wireless protocol has made the Internet of Things (IoT) a reality with its low power, low cost and an added Internet Protocol Support Profile. The range of standard Bluetooth is limited but Bluetooth empowers developers and manufacturers to quickly create the next level IoT innovation. Location independence increases utility. It helps people to work virtually smarter from any place. IP Based mobile wearable devices, sensor nodes and applications allow people to stay connected irrespective of the location. Mobile apps connect the Bluetooth Enabled devices over Internet to exchange data thereby overcoming the distance limitation of Bluetooth and making the Bluetooth Enabled devices separated by larger distances to communicate. Data is obtained from sensor nodes and transferred to a Cloud by using a Mobile App. Data is retrieved from the Cloud by a remote Bluetooth Enabled device. As the innovations bloom there remains a security threat when data is stored in the cloud. Bluetooth addresses IoT security by authentication, association, encryption and privacy. Security measures need to be tightened to ensure the security of data. Authentication and Encryption is done by a unique pattern for secured transfer of data through a Bluetooth enabled Cloud. The proposed method bridges the gap between usability and security by increasing the range of transmission.
