Secure Simple Pairing with old software

Secure Simple Pairing with old software

[Andre Naujoks]

Hi all.

I am currently trying to evaluate the bluetooth capabilities of an
embeded device I am currently using and I feel kind of stupid asking
this here, because I am probably missing something.

I have a 2.6.28.10 kernel and 3.32 bluez-utils and bluez-libs on a
MPC5200 PowerPC. Is it possible to get this combination to do SSP? I
found some old threads in the mailing lists, but there was no real solution.

Does anybody have a hint, where I have to look for further information
on this? Or even some C-Code as an example? The auth-agent from the
bluez-utils package looks like a good start, but it doesn't seem to do
anything, if I just start it.

I would be very thankful for any pointers.

Regards

Heh, you are living in the past, SSP support only arrived in the 4.x series
and that was like 4 years ago. 3.x is deprecated these days, you won't get any
support for it here.
