Wearable smart devices have gradually become indispensable devices in people’s lives. Their security and privacy have gained increasing popularity among the public due to their ability to monitor and record various aspects of users’ daily activities and health data. These devices maintain a wireless connection with mobile phones through periodic signal transmissions, which can be intercepted and analyzed by external observers. While these signal packets contain valuable information about the device owner, the identity of the actual user remains unknown. In this study, we propose two approaches to link wearable smart devices with users’ mobile phones, which serve as electronic identities, to enable novel applications such as multi-device authentication and user-device graph construction for targeted advertising. To establish this linkage, we propose two approaches: a passive-sniffing-based linking approach and an active-interference-based linking approach, which solve the problem of sniffing Bluetooth Low Energy broadcast packets in two stages of Bluetooth Low Energy communication. Through experiments conducted across three scenarios, we demonstrate that seven wearable devices can be successfully linked with an accuracy rate exceeding 80%, with accuracy rates approaching 100% when a device is recorded more than 11 times. Additionally, we find that four wearable devices can be linked via an active-interference-based linking approach with an accuracy rate exceeding 70%. Our results highlight the potential of wearable devices and mobile phones as a means of establishing user identities and enabling the development of more sophisticated applications in the field of wearable technology.
