In todays quickly developing world it is very important to keep track and change the architecture and security features of any system periodically because of the immense number of people trying to reverse engineer things to suit their own needs.In this document i have tried to provide an overview of the developing security architectures in Blutooth systems over the years and the flaws presented in previous designs.It also covers aspects of case studies which give an overview of the failures of previous security designs and how they have been improved upon. |

Mobile Phone Issues - What Risks Are Associated with Their Use by our Youth
Mobile phones are now as much a part of our lives as computers, the Internet. As a means of communication they are more used than fixed line phones. They providetelecommunications to people without the constraints of a fixed line telephone, for example those without a fixed address or without a credit history. Mobile telecommunications can help us live our lives more efficiently. They cut down the need to travel, reduce business costs and can be a vital safety device. And of course people enjoy using them, especially our youth. But is the use of mobile phones a risk free experience for our youth? This paper examines some of the risks associatedwith mobile phone ownership and what can be done to mitigate these risks. |
