Page 44: Encryption
Decrypting the data requires the same key or password that was used to encrypt it. Encryption in CREATIVE BLUETOOTH SOFTWARE is based on the same passkey or Link Key that is used for Authentication. If Authentication is not enabled, the key will not be available and encryption will not take place. -
