Hi all,

Windows XP SP2 added support for Bluetooth. We currently investigating
adding a filter driver to add encryption over Bluetooth, but reading the PSDK
(minimal about this) I came across the following option in WSA:
SO_BTH_ENCRYPT.

Is the encryption available Out-Of-The-Box with the XP SP2 Bluetooth driver?

If so, when pairing two device together, how can we confirm encryption is
enabled from an end user standpoint?
