What “Pairing” means in terms of security?

Pairing is a Bluetooth™ function that enables Bluetooth™ devices to remain permanently linked to another.

What “Pairing” means in terms of security?

As mentioned, Pairing allows devices to permanently link with each other. The pass key authentica- tion will also be perpetuated in Pairing, meaning that devices will not ask for a pass key once they are paired. Paired devices will remain linked, even if other paired devices are turned off. Once a paired device turns back on, it is ready to be used and service requests will not ask for the pass key again. The built-in 128 bit security encryption of Bluetooth™ assures the privacy of your paired devices. Note: If devices are unpaired, it is necessary to enter a pass key each time a service request is made from or to another Bluetooth™ device.
