Description: PAM module which allows to authenticate with a Bluetooth device
pam_blue is a dynamically loadable binary object for the PAM security
framework in Linux. It is presented as an extension for the common PAM
modules, gives the user the ability for authenticate via a
Bluetooth-compatible device like a cell phone or other bluetooth
dongles (e.g. epox-presenter). Due to the fact that a whole part of
the Bluetooth stack is implemented in hardware-side it is relatively
difficult to change the Bluetooth hardware MAC address which makes
this module more secure.
I've already begun my work in this package and I'll be ready to
contact an sponsor in a few days.
Thanks for your work,
Carlos
