Dear Authors, et al.,
I've got one question in regard to use of Authentication Data in GAP message. My understanding is that Authentication Data is mandatory part of the GAP message. I think that authentication is important to provide adequate security but it is optional capability. Authentication support can be signaled by A-flag (can be allocated from one of two Reserved fields of the GAP massage) and Authentication of the GAP message provided by optional Authentication Data TLV.

        Regards,
                Greg
