Certain pieces of parameter data should be considered as sensitive when
they are sent over the D-Bus, as they will be vulnerable to D-Bus
sniffers. These data parameters can reveal which are assumed to be
secrets shared between the Daemon and the owning applications. The data
that needs to be secured over D-Bus includes:
- Tokens
- Dev Keys
- Net Keys
- App Keys
ECC Pubic/Private pairs were selected for security because ECC and
ECDH shared secret handling is native to Bluetooth Mesh.
