need someone to develop this....

[Tilman Baumann]

Beware. This is not a new idea. Patents?.... ;)

Btw. i would suggest bashing the phones together. (like a wood block 
instrument)
This will produce uinique paterns which do not depend very much on the 
resolution of the accelerometers and could easyly picket up by a legacy 
microphone of any hone without accelerometer.

Just my 2 Eurocent ;)

PS: Great idea indeed. We need this...

PS: I know Eve could hear the sounds of the phone bashing together and 
play a replay attack. But come on, it is Bluetooth.
The only reason Bluetooth is not considered insecure is frequency 
hopping. The crypro layer is lame.
