Abstract

Bluetooth is one of the wireless technologies that users connect with one another through at a higher rate than with any other method when they are in close proximity to one another. This type of communication channel is susceptible to a variety of attacks, including Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) attacks and others of their ilk. On the other hand, live chatting has swiftly emerged as the most well-liked mode of text-based communication all over the world. As a consequence of this reality, one of the most significant challenges presented by wireless networks is preserving the authenticity of the data. It is not feasible to determine with absolute certainty whether or not malicious applications are capable of modifying older text that is preserved in a mobile database. This article presents a solution to the challenge of assuring the authenticity of Bluetooth text messages that is based on a distributed ledger technology (blockchain). The problem-solving strategy can be partitioned into two distinct parts. The first possibility involves sending and receiving text messages in real time using the Bluetooth channel of communication. The second type of distributed ledger is a hashing messages distributed ledger, which is based on blockchain technology and saves a hash of each and every message that is stored in the device database. This form of distributed ledger is a sort of distributed ledger for hashing messages.
