Why is it Called Bluetooth?
The name "Bluetooth" is taken from the 10th century Danish King, Harald Bluetooth. King Bluetooth had been influential in uniting Scandinavian Europe during an era when the region was torn apart by wars. The Bluetooth SIG felt the name was fitting, seeing how the technology is designed to allow cooperation between differing industries such as the mobile phone, computing and automotive markets. Bluetooth is a single standard that unites and simplifies multiple forms of communication used by multiple different devices.

How Secure are Bluetooth Networks?
Bluetooth utilizes two types of security measures. First, Bluetooth uses frequency hopping (1600 hops/sec), which is added protection against eavesdropping. Next, there is built-in security at the physical layer. This feature allows one-way, two-way, or no authentication through the use of PINs.
Security setup and key management are done by the software layers. This allows the user to set the security requirements as needed. Users are in control of the relationships between Bluetooth devices and networks.
For Example: you will be able to allow your roommate's computer to connect to your Bluetooth printer, but you can also prevent him from accessing your MP3 player.
