From: Timo Mueller <timo.mueller@xxxxxxxxxxxx> A MITM protected SSP associaton model can be used for pairing if both local and remote IO capabilities are set to something other than NoInputNoOutput, regardless of the bonding type (dedicated or general). With these IO capabilities a MITM protected SSP association model has been used by the Kernel if we are initiating the pairing process (initiating LM). When responding to a pairing request (remote device is the initiating LM) the pairing should also be proteced against MITM attacks, as proposed in this patch.
