Ensure is an associate member of the Bluetooth Special Interest Group The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) is the body that oversees the development of Bluetooth standards and the licensing of the Bluetooth technologies and trademarks to manufacturers.  (SIG), a group working toward a wireless technology specification that provides links between mobile computers, mobile phones and other portable and handheld devices, and connectivity to the Internet. As more Bluetooth devices come to market, security will become essential to protect these devices from unauthorized access. Using XyLoc's patented technology, network managers can easily load and manage digital certificates on any Bluetooth PC, phone or PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) A handheld computer for managing contacts, appointments and tasks.
