Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is one of the major technologies utilised in wearables
and other consumer-oriented Internet of Things (IoT) devices. With the rise of
IoT devices in personal and home environments, the risk of BLE devices being
misused has increased. Because monitoring of Bluetooth devices is non-trivial
task, this paper's goal is to propose a form of security monitoring for BLE
devices.
We developed a proof-of-concept connection detector and verified the feasibility
of our idea on several test devices with different behaviours. The detector shows
promising results even when used with a standard Bluetooth chip and proves it is
possible to monitor the usage of any BLE device in range indirectly.
