[RFC v2 2/2] Bluetooth: Use MITM protection when responding LM

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.
