LM
Link Manager. The Link Manager software entity carries out link set-up, authentication,
link configuration, and other protocols.
LMP
Link Manager Protocol. The LMP is used for peer-to-peer communication.
LMP-authentication
An LMP level procedure for verifying the identity of a remote device. The procedure is
based on a challenge-response mechanism using a random number, a secret key and
the BD_ADDR of the non-initiating device. The secret key used can be a previously
exchanged link key or an initialization key created based on a PIN (as used when
pairing).
LMP-pairing
A LMP procedure that authenticates two devices based on a PIN and subsequently
creates a common link key that can be used as a basis for a trusted relationship or a
(single) secure connection. The procedure consists of the steps: creation of an
initialization key (based on a random number and a PIN), LMP-authentication based
on the initialization key and creation of a common link key.
LocDev
Local Device. A Bluetooth device which initiates a SDP procedure. A Local Device is
typically a master device on the piconet. However, a Local Device may not always
have a master connection relationship to other devices. See also RemDev.
MAC
Media Access Control.
MAC Address
3-bit address to distinguish between units participating in the piconet.
Management Entity
Management Entity. The portion of the BT implementation that mediates the internal
functions of the BT stack.
