5.1 Security Considerations for Implementers

This protocol profile does not implement any security function specified in [IROBEX]. Specifically, it does not support the authentication challenge as specified in [IROBEX] section 2.2.13.

Protocol implementers need to exercise caution when using this protocol profile. The mandatory physical proximity of 1 meter and line-of-sight positioning between the IrOBEX devices mitigates the potential security issues.

Protocol implementers need to consider allowing users to turn off the functionality provided by this protocol profile.
