Abstract
Generating a protected content stream from a data stream provides enhanced security in short-range wireless communications networks. This protected content stream is transmitted across a first short-range communications link. In addition, information for converting the protected content stream into the data stream is transmitted across a second link. The first link may be an ultra wideband (UWB) link, while the second link may be a Bluetooth link.
