Mobile communication technologies such as Bluetooth are becoming ubiquitous, but they must provide satisfactory levels of security and privacy. Concerns about Bluetooth device security have led the specification of the "non-discoverable" mode, which prevents devices from being listed during a Bluetooth device search process. However, a nondiscoverable Bluetooth device is visible to devices that know its address or can discover its address. This paper discusses the detection of non-discoverable Bluetooth devices using an enhanced brute force search attack. Our results indicate that the average time to attack a non-discoverable Bluetooth device using multiple search devices and condensed packet timing can be reduced to well under 24 hours.
To better prepare our graduates to face the challenges in computer and information security, in Fall 2002, Towson University launched an undergraduate track in computer security for the computer science majors. This paper describes the motivation behind this track and discusses its structure and requirements.
This paper lists and organizes 280 articles on a wide range of contemporary accounting system trends, issues and technologies. The articles have been selected from issues of eight leading professional accounting journals that have been published during the past five years. They are listed alphabetically within publication, and are then grouped by topic. In addition, the articles are referenced to the top ten accounting system technolo-gies, applications and issues identified by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA, 2000). This bibliography should be of interest to accounting sys-tem professors who wish to update their instructional material, and to accounting sys-tem researchers and practitioners who are seeking current explanations and analyses of the many recent developments in accounting systems design, implementation and operation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
