dc.description	A Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Data Communication in the School of Computing and Information Management of KCA University
dc.description	The main objective of this research was to design a user authentication model for the Bluetooth piconets. Bluetooth is a new and young technology of data communication, since its birth it has been facing a lot of challenges. Security is one of the challenges and this research was conducted in an effort to enhance its security by creation of user authentication model to curb unauthorized usage. Apparently Bluetooth is open to any user of the device be it authorized or unauthorized. The login model designed in this thesis will allow only authorized users to use the Bluetooth piconet. The model was designed and created using J2ME program and was tested and found to be working well. The model was able to protect the Bluetooth piconet from unauthorized users.
