SSL over Bluetooth

[browndrf]

All,
How do I do data level encryption (PKI/SSL) on a bluetooth socket connection ? I checked J2ME and Symbian C++ classes., but what I could find was bluetooth socket and SSL sockets are seperate (not inherited) classes.

What I want to do is: I have a live BT connection (non-secure). Now I want to transfer a critical data - and that need to be secure. So If was plain old SSL or J2xE, I can convert my socket to a SSL socket. Can I do something like that with Symian/J2ME ? If not, is there a 3rd part library availale ?

thanks a lot

Why is your Bluetooth connection itself not encrypted? Or is this a must?

Yes it is a must. We need a certificates based PKI environment to prove data security.
Relying on BT standard security may not be an option.

thanks.

if you have to go with your own encryption, try http://bouncycastle.org , i got there encryption api working on s60

good luck, hi Traud!

This question is close to problem which I have trying to find a way to make HTTP connection over Bluetooth;
When i inherited com.sun.midp.io.j2me.http.Protocol;
.. and overrided connect() :

protected StreamConnection connect() throws IOException {

StreamConnection conn=(StreamConnection) javax.microedition.io.Connector.open(strSPPUrl);
DataOutputStream streamOutput = conn.openDataOutputStream();
DataInputStream streamInput = conn.openDataInputStream();
...

return conn;
}
....
and placed child class in my package
This works on Nokia emul but when i installed it on 6600 as Untrusted Midlet it didn't run - I click on it and nothing happens
Actualy, why developers didn't made Connector.Open to search Protocl files in some predefined package opened to write to?
PS: 10x for any help
PPS: I'm sorry if I made any mistakes in English

Nice work, however, there is no guarantee this (private) super class is available. You have to go the hard way and apply for the LAN or PAN Bluetooth profile and write all protocol layers above RFCOMM.

It is rather unnormal to do HTML over Bluetooth (except in LAN/PAN). Reconsider the used protocols especially because of heap memory usage and programming efforts you would have to put in.
