Subject: [Bluez-users] Smartcard replacement security?
Date: Wed, 23 Mar 2005 10:41:25 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050323094241.380D34A3@arbetsmyra.dyndns.org> (raw)
Hi
I'd like to know your general opinion on using a Bluetooth enabled
device (cell phone) as a smart card replacement.
I'm thinking of using a phone to automaticly unlocking e.g. my computer
screensaver when I'm nearby. The devices needs to be paired of course.
But then, how "unsafe" is this realy? Can someone else spoof my phone
and thus fooling my computer other than using some kind of brute force?
Authentication is made two-ways, right?
Best regards
/Ronny Nilsson
