+<p>Local connectivity has fewer security issues due to its short range.
+However, general rules of communication security apply to local connectivity
+as well. This section discusses Bluetooth and infrared.</p>
+<section id="GUID-A0FF4E29-CB0F-4752-B3B7-1F5C0D3EA1C8"><title>Bluetooth</title>
+<p>The Bluetooth wireless technology is a short range and low power network
+for data and voice communication in any place of the world. The figure below
+illustrates the relationships between the different Symbian Bluetooth classes.</p>
+<p>For more information, see <xref href="GUID-34A82EC4-E795-4884-A1F0-616BFB38F7C3.dita">Transferring
+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>

+<p>Use the Bluetooth Security Manager to set the appropriate security requirements
+(authentication, authorization, and encryption) that <i>incoming</i> connections
+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>
+<p>The Bluetooth stack will not by default enforce any particular Bluetooth
+security for <i>outgoing</i> socket connections. If the remote device requires
+authentication or encryption to connect, it will be handled automatically
+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>

+<section id="GUID-2CE155AD-1FFC-41D2-9778-032EF43B8002"><title>Infrared</title>
+<p>Infrared provides a means for short-range communication between devices.
+Symbian implements the Infrared Data Association (IrDA) stack for infrared
+connections. Infrared connections are handled through general Serial or Socket
+Server interfaces.</p>
+<p>The IrDA standard does not specify any security features for data transfer,
+but since the devices attempting infrared connection are in visual contact,
+it is easier to control communication and access to the device. Implement
+authentication, authorization, encryption, or any other security features
+needed in the application level.</p>
