Abstract--
Bluetooth is the name given to a wireless technology using short-range radio links, intended to replace the cable(s) connecting portable and/or fixed electronic devices. It allows for the replacement of the many propriety cables that connect one device to another with one universal radio link. Its key features are robustness, low complexity, low power and low cost. It is an application of Pervasive and Ubiquitous Global computing. Bluetooth is a latest trend as a channel for M-Commerce transaction.This paper explores the possibilities of latest trends in Bluetooth and its feasibility with smart card transaction. One of the most serious security threats to any computing device is unauthorized use. User authentication is the first line of defense against this threat. Smart card authentication is perhaps the best-known example of a proof-by-possession mechanism. Smart cards are credit card-size, plastic cards that hold an embedded computer chip containing an operating system, programs, and data. They can be imprinted with a photo, a magnetic strip, or other information, for dual use as a physical identification badge. Smart cards can help to improve the security of a device and also provide additional security services. Many organizational security infrastructures incorporate smart cards. Authentication mechanisms described in this paper are referred to as the smart multimedia card and Bluetooth smart card mechanisms.
