Secure Connection Overview 
 
When a secure connection is established, the paired devices share a permanent 
security bond. This bond is established when two devices create and exchange a Link 
Key
, this process is also known as pairing. Link Keys are based on a unique Bluetooth 
Device Address, an internally generated random number and a user defined Passkey. 
 
With a Bluetooth connection, transmissions may be intercepted. In order to limit this 
exposure, a secure connection should be set up. This encrypts data sent from the 
keyboard to the Pocket PC device, creating a virtual cable. This means that there is a 
1:1 relationship between the Pocket PC device and the keyboard and it will not respond 
to connection requests from other devices. The Pocket PC device on the other hand will 
retain the ability to create new pairings with other devices. 
 
The Pocket PC device searches the Bluetooth radio band until it finds the keyboard. If 
the secure box is checked it will prompt for a Passkey. Once completed, each time the 
Pocket PC device and keyboard are powered on within range of each other, the devices 
will be reconnected without additional user intervention.
