Generic Access Profile (GAP)
Bluetooth Low Energy specifies a generic profile that enables BLE devices to communicate with each other. It can be understood as a base profile which is the same throughout the BLE devices. It defines basic requirements of a Bluetooth device. This generic profile is used to tie all the layers together and identifies all the layers from PHY to L2CAP. It helps to universally maintain all the layers of Bluetooth Low Energy.
Generic Access Profile defines security by implementing cryptographic algorithms that enable devices to securely transfer data attributes. This functionality is achieved by Security Manager which is implemented on the protocol stack. As GAP is universally spread over all the layers, it can maintain ...
