Connecting devices wirelessly with Bluetooth wireless technology. This paper presents an overview of best practices for using Bluetooth ® wireless technology and for addressing security concerns when using Bluetooth services. What is Bluetooth technology? Bluetooth technology is a set of specifications that allow devices to talk to other devices, or to accessories, wirelessly over short distances. Bluetooth technology allows devices to communicate with each other without cables. As of the writing of this paper (Fall 2005), Bluetooth technology is being used in significant numbers by cell phone manufacturers to do things like connect a hands-free headset to a mobile phone or connect a mobile phone to a computer. More specifically, Bluetooth technology is a wireless standard developed by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group, or Bluetooth SIG, an industry association of electronics manufacturers. Bluetooth technology is used primarily in personal area networks (PANs). PANs are spontaneous, or ad hoc, and require no infrastructure. Bluetooth technology is ideal for PANs because of its short range and low power consumption. The Bluetooth standard ensures that many various types of devices with wireless capabilities (Bluetooth handhelds, Bluetooth headsets, PCs with Bluetooth cards, Bluetooth mobile phones, and so on) can communicate with each other without extensive setup by the user. Bluetooth devices usually talk to each other seamlessly and automatically or semi-automatically. NOTE: Several versions of Bluetooth technology are currently in use, including versions 1.1, 1.2, and 2.0. This paper covers general features that are applicable across versions. Information specific to Palm ® Treo 650 smartphones applies to Bluetooth technology version 1.1, the version supported by Treo 650 smartphones. Different versions of Bluetooth technology offer version-specific security measures as well. For example, version 1.2 has added an anonymity Mode to bolster the security of ...
