> While Apple designs an AirTag to change its Bluetooth address based on a cryptographic key, an actor could not do this on other systems without administrator privileges. So instead of trying to modify the Bluetooth address, the researchers developed efficient key search techniques to find a key that is compatible with the Bluetooth address, making the key adapt to the address instead.
