Control DisableMeshRouting
URI: DisableMeshRouting
Package: LocalDeviceConnectivity
Description: Prevents a gateway supporting mesh routing (i.e. ad hoc peer-to-peer networking) over Bluetooth connections. This is the default situation for most devices, but because it may be used, the model must include the connection and so requires a control to indicate its status.
A physical host device, that could therefore be physically as well as electronically attacked (unlike a VirtualHost). |
Bluetooth mesh routing is disabled in device Gateway, preventing it routing between its Bluetooth connections from FromHost to ToHost. This strategy does not represent a contingency plan, but a permanent restriction introduced by design or in accordance with an operational policy or user preference. It also triggers threats representing side effects that would be caused by such a restriction. The default configuration for most Bluetooth enabled hosts is to have mesh routing disabled, but the model must assume it is enabled unless the control is selected, or potential threats may be overlooked. |
