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.
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.
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.
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.
