Bluetooth: Introduce requirements for security level 4
The security level 4 is a new strong security requirement that is based around 128-bit equivalent strength for link and encryption keys required using FIPS approved algorithms. Which means that E0, SAFER+ and P-192 are not allowed. Only connections created with P-256 resulting from using Secure Connections support are allowed. This security level needs to be enforced when Secure Connection Only mode is enabled for a controller or a service requires FIPS compliant strong security. Currently it is not possible to enable either of these two cases. This patch just puts in the foundation for being able to handle security level 4 in the future. It should be noted that devices or services with security level 4 requirement can only communicate using Bluetooth 4.1 controllers with support for Secure Connections. There is no backward compatibilty if used with older hardware. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org> Signed-off-by: Johan Hedberg <johan.hedberg@intel.com>
