Question

I am currently developing Prototypes for secure Wireless Communications.
Now I want to create a secured Bluetooth Connection with Android.

I have looked up on the Android Developers Website and found a very helpful page that describes how to develop the Bluetooth connection.

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/wireless/bluetooth.html

But how can we make it more secure? Any ideas?

Thanks for any help.

The solution has become very simple now. Just include InsecureBluetooth.java in your project and change 2 lines in BluetoothChatService.java.

tmp = InsecureBluetooth.listenUsingRfcommWithServiceRecord(mAdapter, NAME, MY_UUID, true);

and

tmp   = InsecureBluetooth.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(device, MY_UUID, true);

Thats it !
