3 Bluetooth Security
3.1 Introduction
Bluetooth introduces security features to protect users from unauthorized access of
local data and encrypt data in the air. Three levels of security is defined in
Bluetooth:
♦ Low (no security): Local device will not initiate any security procedure.
♦ Medium (service-level enforced security): Local device does not initiate
security procedures before user access local Bluetooth services. This mode
allows different and flexible access policies for Bluetooth applications,
especially running applications with different security requirements in parallel.
♦ High(device level enforced security): Local device initiates security procedures
as long as the remote Bluetooth device set-up link, for example, browsing local
services etc.
Following table shows the security when Bluetooth client device access another
Bluetooth device that provides services.

When security is enforced at device level or a local service requires, an
Authentication procedure is required. Both of Bluetooth client and server side
need enter a Bluetooth passkey to confirm the client user's identity.
To avoid entering Bluetooth passkey every time, two Bluetooth devices can be set
up paring relationship, that is to save the relationship after Authentication. After
Authentication, the Bluetooth link can be encrypted if necessary.
Authorization is used in Security Medium (service-level enforced security), to set
which devices can use the local service and which cannot. The following are some
concept of bluetooth security:
