[Bluez-devel] Sharing link keys with windows?

[Fred Schaettgen]

Hi,

If I switch between Windows and Linux I have to re-pair devices each time I 
boot the other system and try to use a service that requires authentication. 
Is there a utility to copy the link keys from Linux to Windows, so that both 
BlueZ and the MS-Stack use the same keys? 

greetings
Fred

I don't know of any tools, but I think there was a discussion about that
some time ago and it seems that the Widcomm stack is storing the link
keys somewhere in the Windows registry.

So does the MS-Stack..
Then I'll go ahead and try it myself. If you don't know such a tool, then it 
doesn't exist I guess. Uhm, btw. you are not going to change the structure of 
the link_key file during the next weeks, do you?

I am working on the kernel based security manager and the new structure
of the link keys file will be ASCII based. So there will be change, but
actually I don't know when this will be ready for public review.
