The Bluetooth radio can be used by a hacker to connect to the smartphone without the knowledge of the user. Sensitive DoD data could be exposed and the hacker could use the device to attack the enclave. The serial port profile is used by the DoD approved Bluetooth smart card reader and the headset and handset profiles are used by the DoD approved Bluetooth headset. |
