Abstract
An approach is provided for providing a secure and energy efficient method of asset tracking using BLE tags. The security module determines identification criteria associated with at least one scanning device. The security module processes and/or facilitates a processing of the identification criteria to cause, at least in part, a transmission of at least one scan response to the at least one scanning device including, at least in part, asset data associated with at least one tag. The security module causes, at least in part, a modification of one or more advertising packets of the at least one tag based, at least in part, on the transmission of the asset data.
