devices having discovered your device will be
allowed to establish a link to it.
Discoverability refers to whether or not other
devices will be allowed to discover your
device.
Pairing refers to the creation of a link key a
bond between two devices. When the bond
has been created, future communication
between the two devices can take place
without any other devices being able to listen
in or interfere. You can decide whether or not
your device should be able to bond to other
devices.
Security makes it possible to allow only
selected devices to communicate with your
device.
No security means that no passkey will
be required from a device wanting to
communicate with your device.
Service level security will require a
remote user to enter a password before
he can connect to a specific service of
yours. Consequently, you can protect
selected services by a passkey, while
other services require no passkey.
Link level security will require a remote
user to enter a password before he is
allowed to establish a link (regardless of
which service he wants to connect to).
