PROJECT TITLE :

Secure Seamless Bluetooth Low Energy Connection Migration for Unmodified IoT Devices - 2018

ABSTRACT:

At gift, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is dominantly utilized in commercially obtainable Internet of Things (IoT) devices-like smart watches, fitness trackers, and smart appliances. Compared to classic Bluetooth, BLE has been simplified in several ways that that embrace its connection institution, knowledge exchange, and encryption processes. Unfortunately, this simplification comes at a cost. For example, solely a star topology is supported in BLE environments and a peripheral (an IoT device) will communicate with solely one gateway (e.g., a smartphone, or a BLE hub) at any given set time. When a peripheral goes out of vary and therefore loses connectivity to a gateway, it cannot connect and seamlessly communicate with another gateway while not user interventions. In alternative words, BLE connections don't seem to be automatically migrated or handed-off to another gateway. During this Project, we have a tendency to propose SeamBlue1, which brings secure seamless connectivity to BLE-capable mobile IoT devices in an setting that consists of a network of gateways. Our framework ensures that unmodified, industrial off-the-shelf BLE devices seamlessly and securely connect with a nearby gateway while not any user intervention.
