What type of USB does the Logi Bolt receiver use?
The Logi Bolt receiver uses USB 2.0 Type-A.
What version of the Bluetooth core specifications is Logi Bolt connectivity based on?
Our Logi Bolt wireless devices are Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0 or higher. We are
actively using all the security mechanisms introduced in Bluetooth Low Energy
Core Specification 4.2.
From a backward compatibility standpoint, Logi Bolt wireless devices are able
to communicate with Bluetooth Low Energy 4.0 hosts or higher when in direct
Bluetooth connection.
What is the effective range of Logi Bolt?
Logi Bolt wireless devices are Bluetooth Class 2, which means up to 10 meters wireless range.
What Security Manager Protocols does Logi Bolt use for pairing, bonding, encryption and signing?
The Logi Bolt security level used by our Logi Bolt devices during the communication are the following:
Logi Bolt Receiver Connection | Direct Bluetooth Connection | |
---|---|---|
Keyboard | Security Mode 1 – Security Level 4 |
Also called Secure Connections Only mode, this is the security level enforced
when Logi Bolt wireless mice and keyboards are paired to a Logi Bolt USB
receiver.| Security Mode 1 – Security Level 3
With a keyboard in direct connection, we have a pairing with 6-digit Passkey
entry.
Mouse| Security Mode 1 – Security Level 2
With a mouse in direct connection, we have ‘just works’ pairing.
Are PIN codes used for authentication with Logi Bolt?
Logi Bolt does not use PIN codes. It uses Passkey during the authentication
phase of pairing.
– In the context of a Logi Bolt wireless keyboard, it’s a 6-digit passkey
(which means an entropy of 2^20).
– In the context of a Logi Bolt wireless mouse, it’s a 10-click passkey (which
means an entropy of 2^10). At this time, we believe Logi Bolt is the only
wireless protocol that enforces mouse authentication across all compatible
operating systems.
Does Logi Bolt use Just Works security mode?
Just Works pairing to Logi Bolt USB receivers is not permitted. All Logi Bolt
wireless mice and keyboards pair with the Logi Bolt USB receiver in Security
Mode 1 – Security Level 4, also called Secure Connections Only mode.
If you or your organization have concerns or don’t permit direct Bluetooth
connections yet want the convenience and better experience wireless computer
peripherals offer, you can pair Logi Bolt wireless mice and keyboards to Logi
Bolt USB receivers.
In addition, our Logi Bolt wireless mice and keyboards can also direct-connect
to host computers via Bluetooth. In these cases where the Logi Bolt receiver
is not used:
– For Logi Bolt wireless keyboard direct Bluetooth connections, Passkey is
requested per industry standard.
– For Logi Bolt wireless mouse direct Bluetooth connections, Just Works
Pairing is used per industry standard as there is no Passkey pairing standard
for mice.
If the Logi Bolt device supports multiple pairings, does it use random/unique codes or static?
Users can pair up to six Logi Bolt wireless mice and keyboards to a single Logi Bolt USB receiver. Each pairing uses a different Bluetooth address and different long term keys (LTK) and session keys for encryption.
Are Logi Bolt devices discoverable when actively initiated?
Our Logi Bolt wireless devices are only discoverable during a pairing procedure which can be entered only upon explicit user action (a long 3-second press to the connect button).
Is the firmware of the Logi Bolt devices patchable should a vulnerability be discovered?
Yes. Our Logi Bolt wireless devices’ firmware can be updated by our software or via network push by IT administrators. However, we implemented anti- rollback protection for security patches. That means that an attacker cannot downgrade the firmware version to “reinstall” a patched vulnerability. Also, users and IT administrators cannot “restore factory settings”, eliminating security patches.
Does Logi Bolt meet the security requirements of most companies in regulated industries such as financial services, healthcare?
Logi Bolt was designed to address growing security concerns resulting from an increasingly mobile workforce — work from home being an obvious example. When paired with a Logi Bolt receiver, Logi Bolt wireless products use Bluetooth security mode 1, level 4 (also known as Secure Connections Only mode), which is U.S. Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) compliant.
Has Logitech conducted security testing on its implementation of the Bluetooth stack in the Logi Bolt devices?
Yes, Logitech received a third-party security assessment from a leading cybersecurity company. With that said, cybersecurity exposure constantly changes with new threats or vulnerabilities often on the horizon. That is one of the primary reasons we designed Logi Bolt based on Bluetooth Low Energy wireless technology. Bluetooth has a global community of more than 36,000 companies — its Special Interest Group (SIG) — on constant watch and dedicated to continual improvement, protection, and evolution of Bluetooth technology.
Did Logitech fix Logitech Unifying wireless security issues in Logi Bolt?
If an attacker attempts to impersonate a Logi Bolt wireless product to
communicate with the Logi Bolt USB Receiver via RF, does the USB Receiver
accept that input?
The usage of Secure Connections Only mode (Security Mode 1, Security Level 4)
ensures that the communication is encrypted and authenticated. This means that
there is a protection against on-path attackers which mitigates the risk of
keystroke injection.
- Today there is no known attack on the Bluetooth Low Energy standard.
For the Logi Bolt USB Receiver to accept input, does the input need to be encrypted?
Yes, the usage of Secure Connections Only mode (Security Mode 1, Security Level 4) ensures that the communication is encrypted and authenticated.
Is there a means for an attacker to derive or steal the per-device link- encryption keys that pair the wireless product to the USB Receiver from RF enabling the attacker to inject arbitrary keystrokes or eavesdrop and live decrypt input remotely?
Sensitive data like link encryption keys are protected when stored on the Logi Bolt USB receiver.
With the LE Secure Connection (Security Mode 1, Security Level 2 and above), the Long Term Key (LTK) is generated on both sides in such a way that an eavesdropper cannot guess it (Diffie-Hellman key exchange).
Can a remote attacker pair a new Logi Bolt wireless product to a Logi Bolt receiver, even if the user has not put the Logi Bolt USB receiver into pairing mode?
The receiver has to be in pairing mode to accept a new pairing.
Moreover, even if an attacker tricks the user to put the receiver in pairing mode, we included a software-enable capability that alerts on the host monitor that there has been a change in the USB receiver to which the wireless device is paired (alarm notification).
Corporate policy does not allow use of Bluetooth connections. Can we deploy Logi Bolt wireless products?
Yes, Logi Bolt wireless mice and keyboards are in fact ideal for environments that do not permit Bluetooth connections. Though Logi Bolt is based on Bluetooth, it is an end-to-end closed system where a Logi Bolt receiver is emitting an encrypted signal that only connects with Logi Bolt products. So the Logi Bolt USB receiver can’t be paired with any non-Logi Bolt device. And because Logi Bolt works with most enterprise operating systems and is securely paired right out of the box, it makes procurement and set up that much easier.
Which products have Logi Bolt connectivity?
To see the Logi Bolt product line-up, visit logitech.com/LogiBolt.
Are Logi Bolt wireless products cross-compatible with Logitech Unifying wireless products?
Logi Bolt wireless products cannot be paired with a Logitech Unifying USB
receiver and vice versa. Logitech Unifying wireless products cannot be paired
to a Logi Bolt USB receiver.
However, in many cases, Logitech Unifying and Logi Bolt products can be used
simultaneously with the same host computer if the host computer has two
available USB-A ports. Just keep this in mind — when possible, the best option
is to plug your Logi Bolt USB receiver into a port, then power on your Logi
Bolt wireless product. This ensures you get the strong signal and security
that Logi Bolt offers when paired with its USB receiver.
How do I use a combination of Logitech wireless products on the same computer?
When possible, the best option is to plug your Logi Bolt USB receiver into a
USB port, then power on your Logi Bolt wireless product. This ensures you get
the strong signal and security that Logi Bolt offers when paired with its USB
receiver. If you have more than one Logi Bolt product, you can (and should)
pair up to six Logi Bolt products to a single Logi Bolt USB receiver.
Start by identifying which USB receiver provides what type of connection.
Visit logitech.com/logibolt for more information.
Next, if unsure what type of wireless mice and keyboards you have, look for a matching logo/design mark on the bottom (the side that rests on the desk surface) of your Logitech wireless products.
1. If you have two available USB A ports:
– Plug in both the Logi Bolt and Logitech Unifying or 2.4 GHz USB receivers.
They can be used on the same computer with their respective wireless products.
No required software downloads in most instances. Simply plug in the USB
receivers, power on wireless products. This ensures you get the strong signal
and security that Logi Bolt offers when paired with its USB receiver.
2. If you only have one available USB A port:
– If you have a 2.4GHz product or if your Unifying wireless product requires a
USB receiver (it does not have Bluetooth as a connection option), plug the 2.4
GHz or Unifying receiver into a port, power on and off your wireless product.
Next, connect your Logi Bolt wireless product via Bluetooth.
– If you have an advanced Unifying wireless product with Bluetooth as a
connection option, connect your advanced Unifying wireless product via
Bluetooth. Next, plug in your Logi Bolt USB receiver into a port. Power on
your Logi Bolt wireless product. This ensures you get the strong signal and
security that Logi Bolt offers when paired with its USB receiver.
3. If you don’t have any USB A ports or none are available:
– In this case, you probably have a Unifying wireless product that has
Bluetooth as a connection option and it’s connected to the computer via
Bluetooth. Simply add your Logi Bolt wireless product via Bluetooth.
Why aren’t Logi Bolt and Logitech Unifying cross-compatible?
Logi Bolt is based on the global wireless standard for simple, secure connectivity, Bluetooth Low Energy Wireless Technology. Logitech Unifying is a proprietary 2.4 GHz radio frequency wireless protocol that was developed by Logitech. Plainly, they don’t speak the same language.
Is it possible to pair multiple devices with the same Logi Bolt receiver?
Absolutely. Just like Logitech Unifying connectivity protocol, you can pair up
to six Logi Bolt wireless products to a single Logi Bolt USB receiver. In
fact, this feature may be in demand more now than ever with individuals who
have multiple workspaces — office and home. With one set of Logi Bolt
peripherals in the office and another at home, there is no need to carry or
commute your favorite peripherals in between workspaces. Simply position the
laptop or tablet into range and your wireless products will be ready to use
when powered on.
To learn how to pair more than one Logi Bolt wireless product to your Logi
Bolt USB receiver, visit
logitech.com/options to
download Logitech Options software which will walk you through the easy steps.
Will Logitech continue to sell Logitech Unifying wireless products?
Starting in 2021, Logi Bolt is Logitech’s new connectivity protocol for wireless mice and keyboards (non-gaming). Logi Bolt may someday be extended to wireless headsets. However, it will take several years before Logitech’s extensive and popular product portfolio is 100% transitioned to Logi Bolt.
Will Logitech continue to provide routine online, telephone and email support for Unifying products?
Yes, we will continue to provide Logitech Support for Unifying wireless products.
How do I know if my device is Logitech Unifying or Logi Bolt?
Start by identifying which USB receiver provides what type of connection. Visit www.logitech.com/logibolt for more information.
Next, if you’re unsure what type of wireless mice and keyboards you have, look for a matching logo/design mark on the bottom (the side that rests on the desk surface) of your Logitech wireless products.
I lost my Bolt receiver, how do I order a new one?
You can order a replacement Logi Bolt USB receiver from logitech.com and from many popular retailers and eTailers.
