Rappore's bulletproof Refers to extremely stable hardware and/or software that cannot be brought down no matter what unusual conditions arise. See industrial strength. bulletproof - Used of an algorithm or implementation considered extremely robust; lossage-resistant; capable of correctly Bluetooth protocol stack The set of protocols used in a communications network. A protocol stack is a prescribed hierarchy of software layers, starting from the application layer at the top (the source of the data being sent) to the data link layer at the bottom (transmitting the bits on the wire). , which adheres to the Bluetooth 1.1 specification, enhances the BlueCat Linux operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. with Bluetooth wireless capabilities. Joint development will enable wireless connectivity for embedded devices such as personal digital assistants (PDAs), portable office equipment, automotive computing, cellular phones, digital cameras, medical equipment, industrial automation products, or any OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and embedded application An application that permanently resides in an industrial or consumer device. Providing some type of control function and/or user interface, the software is typically stored in a non-volatile memory such as ROM or flash memory. that requires an embedded Linux operating system and Bluetooth radio connectivity. Security considerations are significant factors for both embedded Linux and Bluetooth technology. Rappore asserts that true security should be "people-based" instead of simple device-level security.
