| - | * MITM (Man In The Middle): process by which a third device impersonates the other two legitimate devices, in order to fool them into connecting to it. Both BLE central and peripheral will connect to the malicious device, which in turn routes the communication between the other two devices. The malicious device intercepts all data being sent and can inject false data or remove data before it reaches its recipient. | + | |
| - | * Replay Attack: a type of network attack in which an attacker captures a valid network transmission and then retransmits it later. The main objective is to trick the system into accepting the retransmission of the data as legitimate. | + | |
