A Blue Tooth specifically refers to a device that, through a Personal Area Network (PAN) uses secure radio frequencies that are short-range to exchange information between various other devices. These devices include video game consoles, mobile phones, PCs, laptops, digital cameras, and printers.

In order for a Blue Tooth to be successfully used, it must be compatible with the device that you are attempting to connect it with. There are many different reasons why you might want to use a Blue Tooth, and they include: Wireless networking between personal computers in a small area in which a low bandwidth would be required, and via OBEX (Object Exchange) the transfer of reminders, contacts, and appointments between compatible devices.

Most commonly, a Blue Tooth is used with hand-held computing devices and cell phones. The most common way for information to be exchanged in this manner is by transferring files from PDAs or phones to computers, or by using a Blue Tooth headset.

A new as the Blue Tooth is, it has already undergone several changes in the form of various versions. Security is, of course, the most important feature when dealing with wireless technology, so there are a number of developments being implemented to enhance those features.

Extended Inquiry Response is a feature of the new Blue Tooth that will enable more information to be processed during the inquiry procedure. This will allow for better filtering of what devices are and are not allowed during connection.

Additionally, encryption keys are very necessary in the implementation of a secure wireless connection. The Blue Tooth is being improved using Atomic Encryption Change, which allows links that are encrypted to periodically change their encryption keys, thus allowing better security.
