General Use Cases:
Inherent threats: Privacy, access to sensitive user devices, de-anonimization based on bluetooth state
Threat severity: high
Regular web content (unauthenticated)
Use cases: None Authorization model for normal content: None Authorization model for installed content: None Potential mitigations:
Trusted (authenticated by publisher)
Use cases: None Authorization model: None Potential mitigations:
Certified (vouched for by trusted 3rd party)
Use cases: Read bluetooth adapter state Start/Stop device discovery List discovered devices Pair with device Authorization model: Implicit Potential mitigations: Status indicator showing active bluetooth connection, user can click the status indicator to cancel the connection. Any limit on types of devices?
Notes: Non-certified use cases are out of scope for 1.0. We will consider those for a subsequent release.
