Hi Thomas,

first if you start asking on a mailing list you should keep posting also
your answers to it.

The Bluetooth host stack only handles everything at the HCI level and
its upper layers. Everything down like link manager, baseband and radio
is part of the Bluetooth chip. And this also means that every security
mechanism is implemented in the chip. From the host side you can only
trigger them.
