Bluetooth Data Exchange Between Android Phones Without Pairing
Yakov Shafranovich
TL;DR
This paper introduces a new method for Android smartphones to exchange data via Bluetooth without pairing, by encoding data within UUIDs used in the Bluetooth SDP, enabling potentially faster and easier data sharing.
Contribution
The paper presents a novel technique of data exchange that leverages UUID encoding in Bluetooth SDP, eliminating the need for device pairing on Android phones.
Findings
Proposed method encodes data in UUIDs for Bluetooth communication
Initial feasibility of data exchange without pairing demonstrated
Further research needed on performance metrics and protocol integration
Abstract
In this paper we describe a novel method of exchanging data between Bluetooth smartphones on the Android platform without requiring pairing between devices. We discuss our approach of encoding and decoding data inside the UUIDs used by the Bluetooth Service Discovery Protocol (SDP). Future research remains to be done on the latency, bandwidth and compatibility of this approach, as well as the possibility of utilizing other protocols in conjunction with this method.
