v9 v10 1618 1618 Many of the bluetooth services can expose private data or allow control of a device, therefore for security reasons it is desired to securely pair devices in a fashion that doesn't make it too difficult to use conveniently. 1619 1619 1620 Bluetooth uses a process called '''bonding''' where a bond is generated through a process called '''pairing'''. Pa ring is triggered either by a specific request or triggered automatically when connecting to a service for the first time. There is usually some form of user interaction to confirm the identify of the devices but once pairing is complete a bond will have been formed between the two devices, enabling them to connect to each other in the future without requiring the pairing process again. If desired the bonding relationship can later be removed by the user which would force a pairing to be completed again.1620 Bluetooth uses a process called '''bonding''' where a bond is generated through a process called '''pairing'''.

It is the controller that decides to pair or trust a device, not the device itself.
