Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a packet based protocol with a master slave structure . One master may communicate with up to 7 slaves.
In Bluetooth technology ,the device which sends the data is called as MASTER. Where as the devices that receive the data is called as SLAVE.

BlueTooth- Some Specifications Uses unlicensed 2.402 - 2.480 GHz frequency range. Frequency hopping spread spectrum 79 hops separated
by 1 MHz. Maximum frequency hopping rate: 1600 hops/sec. Nominal range: 10 cm to 10 meters. Nominal antenna power: 0 dBm. One complete Bluetooth data packet can be transmitted
within each 625 msec hop slot.

Bluetooth SecuritySupports Unidirectional or Mutual Encryption based
on a Secret Link key Shared Between Two Devices.Security Defined In 3 modes:
Mode1- No Security.Mode 2 - Service Level Security: Not Established
Before Channel is Established at L2CAP.Mode 3 - Link Level Security: Device Initiates
Security Before LMP Link is Setup.
• Devices and Services can be Set for Different Levels of Security
Two Trust Levels are Set for Devices:Trusted Device : Fixed Relationship and
Unrestricted Access to All Services.Untrusted : No Permanent relationship and
Restricted Services.
