    14 <p>Local connectivity has fewer security issues due to its short range.

    15 However, general rules of communication security apply to local connectivity

    16 as well. This section discusses Bluetooth and infrared.</p>

    17 <section id="GUID-A0FF4E29-CB0F-4752-B3B7-1F5C0D3EA1C8"><title>Bluetooth</title>

    18 <p>The Bluetooth wireless technology is a short range and low power network

    19 for data and voice communication in any place of the world. The figure below

    20 illustrates the relationships between the different Symbian Bluetooth classes.</p>

    21 <p>For more information, see <xref href="GUID-34A82EC4-E795-4884-A1F0-616BFB38F7C3.dita">Transferring

    22 data over a Bluetooth connection</xref> in the Communication section, and <xref href="jar:GUID-35228542-8C95-4849-A73F-2B4F082F0C44.jar!/sdk/doc_source/guide/Short-Link-Services-subsystem-guide/ShortLinkServices/TechnologyGuides/Bluetooth/BluetoothOverview.html" format="application/java-archive">Bluetooth</xref>.</p>

    24 <p>Use the Bluetooth Security Manager to set the appropriate security requirements

    25 (authentication, authorization, and encryption) that <i>incoming</i> connections

    26 to the device's Bluetooth services must meet. For more information, see <xref href="jar:GUID-35228542-8C95-4849-A73F-2B4F082F0C44.jar!/sdk/doc_source/guide/Short-Link-Services-subsystem-guide/ShortLinkServices/ShortLink/BluetoothProtocolClientAPIs/usingSecMan/index.html" format="application/java-archive">Using Bluetooth Security Manager</xref>.</p>

    27 <p>The Bluetooth stack will not by default enforce any particular Bluetooth

    28 security for <i>outgoing</i> socket connections. If the remote device requires

    29 authentication or encryption to connect, it will be handled automatically

    30 by the Bluetooth stack. For more information, see <xref href="jar:GUID-35228542-8C95-4849-A73F-2B4F082F0C44.jar!/sdk/doc_source/guide/Short-Link-Services-subsystem-guide/ShortLinkServices/ShortLink/BluetoothProtocolClientAPIs/UsingBtSocks/FindConnect/usesec.html" format="application/java-archive">How to use security on outgoing sockets</xref>.</p>

    33 <p>Infrared provides a means for short-range communication between devices.

    34 Symbian implements the Infrared Data Association (IrDA) stack for infrared

    35 connections. Infrared connections are handled through general Serial or Socket

    36 Server interfaces.</p>

    37 <p>The IrDA standard does not specify any security features for data transfer,

    38 but since the devices attempting infrared connection are in visual contact,

    39 it is easier to control communication and access to the device. Implement

    40 authentication, authorization, encryption, or any other security features

    41 needed in the application level.</p>
