Describe two important tools to make using Bluetooth more secure.

What will be an ideal response?


Bluetooth has two important tools to make using it more secure. First, all of today's Bluetooth devices are not visible unless they are manually set to discovery or discoverable mode. If you have a Bluetooth headset and you want to pair it to your smartphone, there is some place on the phone where you turn on this mode. The second tool is the requirement of using a four-digit personal identification number (PIN) during the pairing process. When one device initiates a discoverable Bluetooth device, the other device sees the request and generates a four-digit PIN. The first device must then enter that code and the pairing takes place.
