--------------------
Bluetooth is a standard for short-range wireless communication between
devices. This group is developing a specification for Bluetooth APIs to
allow websites to communicate with devices in a secure and
privacy-preserving way.
In particular the web Bluetooth API focuses on minimizing the device
attack surface exposed to malicious websites, possibly by removing
access to some existing Bluetooth features that are hard to implement
securely. Further, the API takes the approach of a user interface to
select and approve access to devices as opposed to using certification
and installation.
