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:
i Low (no security): Local device will not initiate any security procedure.
i 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.
i 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.

level before setup

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:
IVT BlueSoleil™ User Manual

All specifications are preliminary and subject to change without notice.
17
i Authentication
Authentication is used to verify identity; it requires a passkey or link key from
the remote device. When an Authentication procedure is initiated by either local
device or remote device, a dialog is shown to ask for entering Bluetooth
Passkey. Only when passkeys from both sides are identical, can
authentication succeed.
i Authorization
Bluetooth authorization is the procedure to decide whether you are going to
allow some other Bluetooth devices to use Bluetooth services on your Bluetooth
devices. This procedure takes function in Bluetooth security Medium and
applies to Bluetooth services only.
i Encryption
When a Bluetooth link is encrypted, data are encrypted into unreadable data
using a secret key or password before they are sent in the air. Data are
decrypted after they reach the remote device using the same key or password
that was used to encrypt it.
i Pairing Devices
Pairing allows you to avoid entering access information each time a connection
is setup. Paired devices share a unique Link Key, which they exchange each
time they connect.
3.2 BlueSoleil Security Configuration
The BlueSoleil security configuration involves the policy setting of the local device's
security, it comprises the following items:

3.2.1 General Property Page
Figure 3.1: Security Configuration Dialog
Security Level
i Low
When Low is checked, normally other devices may access your device freely,
which means that they don't need to input the Bluetooth passkey. However, if
the other device set its own security level to High, you are also required to input
the passkey.
i Medium
The medium level is service level security. You can assign access right for
specified service to different devices. For more detail, to see Services Property
Page.
i High
When other devices connect to your device or your device connects with other
devices, you are required to input a Bluetooth passkey. If your device has been
paired with the other device before connecting, you can connect with the other
device directly. (A link key has been created and stored for the paired
relationship. Link key is used instead of Bluetooth passkey here.)
Bluetooth Passkey
i Set Default Passkey
If you check Set Default Passkey, you needn't input passkey manually.
BlueSoleil will use the passkey inputted in the edit box below to connect with
other devices.

4 Personal Area Networking
4.1 Introduction
The Bluetooth Personal Area Networking (PAN) is a Bluetooth application, which
enables devices to form an ad-hoc network or to access a remote network through
a network access point.
The PAN application can be used in the following scenarios:
i Two or more computers (or PDAs) can be connected to form a Group Ad-hoc
Network (GN) and can visit each other using Windows Network Places or any
application based on TCP/IP. (Figure 4.1)
Figure 4.1: Group Ad-hoc Network
i Two or more computers (or PDAs) can access a Local Area Network through a
Network Access Point (NAP) bridge. (Figure 4.2) After the computers or PDAs
connect to the PAN-NAP, they become members of the LAN and can
communicate with other computers in the LAN directly.

5 Dial-Up Networking
5.1 Introduction
The Bluetooth Dial-up Networking (DUN) service allows a Bluetooth-enabled client
to access the Internet wirelessly through a modem on another Bluetooth device or
a cellular phone. The other Bluetooth device or the cellular phone is called the
gateway (server) as it provides access to the public network.
The DUN profile can be used in the following scenario:
i A Bluetooth computer accesses the Internet through a Bluetooth cellular phone
or Bluetooth modem.
5.2 Connect to a Dial-up Gateway from a Computer

8 LAN Access
8.1 Introduction
The Bluetooth LAN Access Profile (LAP) allows Bluetooth-enabled devices to access
the services of a LAN using Point-to-Point Protocol. In this usage model, multiple
data terminals use a LAN access point as a wireless connection to a Local Area
Network (LAN). Once connected, data terminals operate as if they are connected to
the LAN via dial-up networking and can access all the services provided by the LAN.
The LAN application can be used in the following scenarios:
i A computer (or PDA) accesses a Local Area Network via a LAP Server.
i A computer (or PDA) accesses a Local Area Network via a LAN access point.
Note: Before using the LAN Access Profile in Windows98/Me, ensure that a
Dial-up Adapter and Windows’s component direct cable are already installed on the
computer. (See “Section 8.4: Settings for LAN Access Profile (client side) in
Windows98/Me”). Moreover, every operating system should have an installation of
NetBEUI protocol; otherwise, it cannot use computer name to visit other computer.
8.2 Access a Local Area Network (LAN)
This section outlines the steps involved in connecting to a Local Area Network using
the LAP application.
