RE: [PATCH BlueZ 1/1] doc: Add Pub/Private ECC shared secret to obscure sensitive data

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I have a question concerning this change. AppKeys can also be sent using the Node1.DevKeySend() method and a Config AppKey Add
 message. I assume that with a D-Bus sniffer an appKey could be extracted as well that way, will this be considered in the future as well?

Best regards
Stefan

Subject: [PATCH BlueZ 1/1] doc: Add Pub/Private ECC shared secret to obscure sensitive data

Certain pieces of parameter data should be considered as sensitive when they are sent over the D-Bus, as they will be vulnerable to D-Bus sniffers. These data parameters can reveal which are assumed to be secrets shared between the Daemon and the owning applications. The data that needs to be secured over D-Bus includes:
- Tokens
- Dev Keys
- Net Keys
- App Keys

ECC Pubic/Private pairs were selected for security because ECC and ECDH shared secret handling is native to Bluetooth Mesh.
