Release Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bluetooth technology is blooming in a variety of older and newer species,
wireless application-wise. However, security has been an issue, until now. The
release of Artech\'s Bluetooth Security book by erudite authors Christian
Gehrmann, Joakim Persson, and Ben Smeets brings a discussion of the security
features front and center. These three experts in security architectures and
security systems thoroughly explore both the strengths and weaknesses of the
security features available.

The authors begin by providing an overview of the Bluetooth system and the whole
Bluetooth security architecture. Then, they describe Bluetooth key management.
Next, the authors give a detailed description of the algorithms and the design
principles behind them. The broadcast function is then described in detail,
followed by an examination of security policies and access control. Then, the
authors describe the attacks on Bluetooth security and show how location
tracking can be avoided by introducing an anonymity mode. Then, they suggest
several key management improvements and extensions. Finally, the authors deal
with a set of Bluetooth applications.

Bluetooth technology is way too useful to allow security issues to stand in the
way of its full potential in wireless applications. The most useful discussion
found herein promises the reader a greater comprehension of the available
security features, and perhaps an \"ah-hah\" experience as the new comprehension
spurs your ingenuity and imagination.
