Patent ID: 8156544

Claim:
A device, comprising: a radio for establishing a baseband connection for communication with another device over a Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN); a central processing unit; a memory coupled to the processing unit, the memory comprising: a plurality of system resources associated with the device; and a firewall component encoded with instructions, which when executed by the central processing unit analyzes one or more requests from the other device to establish a logical connection to access the system resources associated with the device over the WPAN and blocks the establishment of the logical connection with the other device to prevent unauthorized use of the system resources associated with the device based at least in part on the analysis of the one or more requests while maintaining the established baseband connection with the other device, wherein the firewall component is implemented on a Bluetooth protocol stack utilized for communication over the WPAN that secures the system resources associated with the device; wherein the firewall component comprises a monitoring component that monitors and obtains information relating to respective requests for access to the system resources associated with the device and wherein the monitoring component logs information relating to requests for unauthorized use of the system resources associated with the device; wherein the firewall component comprises a standardization component that facilitates adjustment of a security policy utilized by the firewall component for securing system resources associated with the device over the WPAN based on the security policy utilized by the device for securing system resources over at least one other network.
