Rikki Don't Lose That Bluetooth Device

In this article, the authors want to present an example of exploiting a trust relationship between two technical devices that can put the confidentiality of sensitive data or the integrity of a computer system at risk. This trust relationship they exploit exists between two Bluetooth devices: On the one side a computer system you want to remain secure and you don't want to be compromised, for example your laptop, or your smartphone, and on the other side a Bluetooth device you usually do not consider worth protecting with special diligence as it simply is an output device of a specific kind and does not persistently store any of your valuable data locally, for example headphones.
