Subject: [Bluez-users] Limit communication to serveral devices
Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2004 15:45:39 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <412C9803.6080306@lawatsch.at> (raw)

Hi,


Call me paranoid but I would like to know if there is any way to limit 
all types of communication to just several devices by checking with the 
hardware addresses.

I understand that in principle not being discoverable and the pin 
challenge should help you with being secure but to me this is not enough.

I'm currently running 2 class 1 devices to serve my flat with rfcomm for 
dial in and I for sure do not want anyone besides me to get access to 
these com ports.

Is there anything I can do to tighten security and limit all 
communication to just some devices?

I do understand that even this is no guarantee for anything, but I'd for 
sure feel better :)

kind regards Philip
