3. Bluetooth Device Identity
Every Bluetooth device has a unique Bluetooth Device Ad-
dress (BDA) assigned to it during the manufacturing process.
This address cannot be changed by the end-user.
A device’s BDA is usually displayed in hexadecimal format;
00:D0:B7:03:2E:9F is a valid BDA.
Each Bluetooth device also has an operator-configurable,
user-friendly name to help distinguish it from other devices.
The user-friendly name may be up to 99 alphanumeric char-
acters in length and may contain spaces. My Personal Com-
puter is a valid user-friendly name.
4. Encryption
Encrypting data translates it into an unreadable format using
a secret key or password. Decrypting the data requires the
same key or password that was used to encrypt it.
5. Link Key
A unique, internally generated, access code based on a
passkey, the Bluetooth Device Address and an internally
generated random number.. Link Keys are generated auto-
matically when devices Pair.
After a link key is generated, manual entry of the passkey is
not required.
