Fortifying Connectivity: A Hybrid Algorithm Approach for Augmented Security and Efficiency in Bluetooth Technology

Abstract

Bluetooth technology has become an integral part of our daily lives, providing wireless connectivity and seamless communication between wide ranges of devices. Bluetooth uses a master-slave architecture, where one device acts as the master, and the other devices act as slaves. The master device initiates and controls the connection, while the slave devices respond to connection requests from the master. In this research we are enhancing the security and efficiency of Bluetooth technology using hybrid approached algorithm i.e., combination of Two fish and ElGamal algorithm for making the communication process more secure and protected from foreign access. This research paper proposes a novel approach to enhance Bluetooth security by applying a hybrid algorithm that combines the strengths of Two fish and ElGamal encryption schemes. Two fish, a symmetric-key algorithm known for its high-speed data processing and resistance to attacks, will provide the foundation for encrypting data during Bluetooth communication. Concurrently, ElGamal, a public-key algorithm celebrated for its robust security and strong cryptographic properties, will complement the hybrid approach by ensuring secure key exchange between devices. The fusion of Two fish and ElGamal aims to overcome the limitations of using either algorithm in isolation, while capitalizing on their respective advantages to form a more potent and reliable security solution. By employing Two fish for efficient data encryption and ElGamal for secure key exchange, we anticipate a formidable defense against various attack vectors, including eavesdropping, man-in-the-middle attacks, and brute-force attempts.
