` EXAMINATION
`
`BY MR. EDMONDS:
`
` Q Please state your name for the record.
`
` A John Michael Strawn.
`
` Q And you are an expert witness for Panasonic in
`
`this matter; is that correct?
`
` A Yes, sir.
`
` Q Is there anything about your health or wellness
`
`that would prevent you from giving full, complete and
`
`accurate testimony today?
`
` A No, sir.
`
` Q Sitting before you are two notebooks; is that
`
`correct?
`
` A Three-ring binders, yes, sir.
`
` Q Three-ring binders. And I was told that those
`
`are your report and other exhibits from the proceeding.
`
`Is that your understanding as well?

`

`
` Q In preparing for today's deposition, did you
`
`get any information about what occurred at a deposition
`
`yesterday in a parallel proceeding?
`
` A I was --
`
` MR. PEARCE: I'm going to instruct the witness
`
`not to answer. I think that's getting into work
`
`product.
`
`BY MR. EDMONDS:
`
` Q Did you receive any information -- well, first
`
`of all, yes or no, did you receive any information --
`
`without getting into it, yes or no, did you receive any
`
`information about -- from what happened at the
`
`deposition yesterday?
`
` MR. PEARCE: I don't think he can answer that
`
`yes or no. Same instruction.
`
`BY MR. EDMONDS:
`
` Q Are you going to follow your counsel's
`
`instruction?
`
` A Yes, sir.
`
` Q And just so we have a complete record, what --
`
`what were you told about what happened at the deposition

`
`Instruct the witness not to answer. It's work product.
`
`BY MR. EDMONDS:
`
` Q Who did you have the conversation with?
`
` Oh, let me go back. I'm sorry. Are you
`
`following your counsel's instruction?
`
` A Yes, sir.
`
` Q And who have you spoken with in the last day to
`
`prepare for this deposition?
`
` A My wife, Mr. Pearce and -- and attorney named
`
`Olamide Olusesi.
`
` Q Is that somebody who works for Panasonic?
`
` A That is a lawyer who's part of the Orrick law
`
`firm.
`
` Q Okay. Is there anything about what you learned
`
`from yesterday's deposition that informs your expert
`
`opinions in this case?
`
` MR. PEARCE: Objection. Foundation. You can
`
`answer that question.
`
` THE WITNESS: Let me explain that I subscribe
`
`to a service called Docket Navigator, and it informs me
`
`with -- when various things happen. So it informed me
`
`that there was something that happened yesterday in the
`
`Canon case. I didn't take the time to look up what. So

`
`that's the extent of what I know about what happened
`
`yesterday.
`
`BY MR. EDMONDS:
`
` Q And so shifting to your report. In your report
`
`you use the word "paired" correct?
`
` A I use various forms of the verb "pair."
`
` Q And in the context of your report, what does it
`
`mean to pair?
`
` MR. PEARCE: Objection. Form.
`
` THE WITNESS: I'm sorry, I didn't hear.
`
` MR. PEARCE: I said objection. Form. But you
`
`may answer.
`
` THE WITNESS: Well, in the context of the
`
`report, pairing includes receiving what's called a PIN
`
`that's entered by a user on two different devices.
`
`BY MR. EDMONDS:
`
` Q As the word "pair" is used in your report, what
`
`does that word mean?
`
` MR. PEARCE: Objection to form.
`
` THE WITNESS: I don't understand the difference
`
`from the previous question, so the answer is -- so far
`
`is the same.
`
`BY MR. EDMONDS:
`
` Q You didn't answer the previous question.
`
` MR. EDMONDS: Could you repeat the second

`
`question?
`
` (Record read as follows:
`
` "QUESTION: And in the context of
`
` your report, what does it mean to
`
` pair?")
`
` MR. PEARCE: Same objection.
`
` THE WITNESS: All right. In the world of
`
`Bluetooth, to pair two devices means, among other
`
`things, to enter a PIN number on each of the devices,
`
`and it's meant to be the same PIN number.
`
`BY MR. EDMONDS:
`
` Q And so in the example you just gave when a PIN
`
`is entered in Bluetooth, what is the sequence of steps
`
`that takes place?
`
` A Well, I haven't memorized the entire Bluetooth
`
`specification, but I can point you at diagrams in my own
`
`report and its exhibits that talk about that, if you
`
`wish.
`
` Q Yeah, let's start with the diagram in your
`
`report, diagram or diagrams. Do you have it in front of
`
`you?
`
` A Yes, sir.
`
` Q Okay. Just let us know what page you're on
`
`when you get to it, please.
`
` A All right. The first answer is on page 40

`
`where Mashita discloses that:
`
` "An identical personal
`
` identification code is input to both
`
` devices."
`
` And then I go on to say that:
`
` "A person of ordinary skill in the
`
` art would understand that establishing a
`
` link and inputting the same PIN into
`
` both the cellular phone and the digital
`
` camera results in a paired connection."
`
` I want to point you at a diagram in my
`
`exhibits.
`
` Q Which exhibit are you looking at?
`
` A I -- okay. I'm looking at my Exhibit 1017.
`
` Q 1A17 --
`
` A 1017.
`
` Q Okay. Hold on. Let me get to it. Let's --
`
`let's -- okay. Go ahead.
`
` A Right. And in Exhibit 1017, I'm at its
`
`page 29, which is numbered page 251 of 814, section
`
`4.2.2 Pairing. So this says:
`
` "When two devices do not have a
`
` common link key, an initialization key
`
` shall be created based on a PIN, a
`
` random number, and a BD_ADDR."

`

`
` The BD_ADDR is the address of the respective
`
`device. So pairing involves a PIN being entered, and if
`
`a PIN is entered, then pairing happens. And this
`
`pairing sequence is part of a larger Bluetooth sequence.
`
`And I can -- I don't have duplicated here, because I
`
`didn't think it was necessary, the respective pages of
`
`this particular specification.
`
` Q What -- what's your understanding of the larger
`
`Bluetooth sequence that's accompanied by the exchange of
`
`PINs in Bluetooth?
`
` A So I'd like in this instance, because I didn't
`
`review -- I didn't reproduce the respective pages, I'd
`
`like to turn to your Exhibit 2006.
`
` Q Please do. When you get to a page, just let us
`
`know what page you're at, please.
`
` A Yes, sir. Let's start in my Exhibit 1017 on
`
`exhibit page 27, which is page 249 of the document. And
`
`I draw your attention to sequence 22 where a link key
`
`exists -- exists. And here we show that from the one
`
`device to the other there are two messages sent. First
`
`the message LMP_AU_RAND is sent. And then the message
`
`LMP_SRES is sent. Turning then to your Exhibit 2006,
`
`exhibit page 866.
`
` Let me know when you're there, please.
`
` Q Thank you. I have it. Thank you.

`
` A Okay. Now, this shows some larger context of
`
`what Bluetooth calls an authentication procedure. And
`
`in the text at the top, the second sentence starts:
`
` "The LM" -- which is a layer of the
`
` software in Bluetooth -- "will have
`
` requested a link key from the host for
`
` this connection."
`
` And the host is, we'll call it the main
`
`processor of the device.
`
` "If there is a negative reply, then
`
` a PIN code will be requested. This PIN
`
` code will be requested on both sides of
`
` the connection and authentication
`
` performed based on this PIN code."
`
` Then in the diagram you can see on the left
`
`side for the one device, it says "user inputs PIN code,"
`
`and on the right side you can see for the other device
`
`"user inputs PIN code." And then toward the bottom in
`
`the middle you can see a sequence that matches the
`
`sequence from my Exhibit 1017, which is LMP_AU_RAND and
`
`LMP_SRES. And that sequence happens twice.
`
` So this is pairing, and pairing requires a PIN
`
`code. And conversely if there's a PIN code input on
`
`both devices successfully, then pairing happens.

`
` Q Are you saying that Bluetooth pairing requires
`
`only a PIN code or that it requires a PIN code in
`
`addition to other steps?
`
` THE WITNESS: Read me the question, please.
`
`BY MR. EDMONDS:
`
` Q I'll repeat it. Are you saying that pairing
`
`requires -- are you saying that Bluetooth pairing
`
`requires only a PIN code or that it requires a PIN code
`
`and other steps?
`
` A Bluetooth pairing requires many, many steps of
`
`which inputting a PIN is one.
`
` Q Do you -- so we started this line of
`
`questioning with asking you about what it means to pair.
`
`Do you have a definition of "pair" that you're using for
`
`purposes of your testimony?
`
` MR. PEARCE: Objection to form.
`
` THE WITNESS: The definition of the phrase
`
`within which "paired" occurs is in my report on pages 33
`
`and 34. Does that answer the question?

`
`BY MR. EDMONDS:
`
` Q Thank you, but it does not. Where on pages 33
`
`and 34 are you pointing to where you presented a
`
`definition of "paired"?
`
` A I don't present a separate definition of
`
`"paired," and I wasn't asked to. But I do understand
`
`that pairing involves, as it says:
`
` "Authenticating the identity of the
`
` cellphone using some form of security or
`
` encryption including by use of a shared
`
` passkey on the digital camera device and
`
` the cellular phone."
`
`BY MR. EDMONDS:
`
` Q That's your definition for "cryptographically
`
`authenticated," correct?
`
` A No, sir. What I was suggesting was that the
`
`definition of "paired" is embedded within the definition
`
`of this whole phrase "wherein establishing," etc.
`
` Q So just so we have a clean record, and feel
`
`free to read if you need to, the question is "the
`
`definition of 'paired' is," and hopefully you can answer
`
`it by saying "the definition of 'paired' that I'm
`
`following is," and just read us that or state it.
`
` A Right. I'm going to go back to your
`
`Exhibit 2006.

`
` So your Exhibit 2006, exhibit page 92:
`
` "Paired device, a Bluetooth device
`
` with which a link key has been exchanged
`
` either before connection establishment
`
` was requested or during the connecting
`
` phase."
`
` Q Are you saying that's the definition of "paired
`
`device" in Bluetooth or that's the definition of
`
`"paired" that you have been using for your report?
`
` A I use this definition of paired device from the
`
`Bluetooth specification to inform me what "paired"
`
`means.
`
` Q What's a "link key"?
`
` A Bluetooth has half a dozen keys, and I haven't
`
`memorized exactly which key is the link key, but in
`
`general, it's a key that's established during
`
`authentication so that devices can recognize each other.
`
` Q Is it cryptographic?
`
` A From memory, the link key is established using
`
`a secret key, so it's therefore cryptographic. And the
`
`link key then feeds into from memory the establishment
`
`of cryptographic procedures in Bluetooth.
`
` Q And what cryptographic procedures are you
`
`referring to?
`
` A I draw your attention to your Exhibit 2006,

`800.808.4958

`
`exhibit page 861.
`
` Q What's the page again? Sorry.
`
` A 861.
`
` Q Okay.
`
` A And in the diagram, this is the various steps
`
`in general as a very high level overview of how
`
`connection happens. And you can see there that step 7A
`
`is the pairing, step 7B is authentication, and step 8 is
`
`the encryption. And when I used cryptographic in my
`
`previous answer, I was referring to this encryption step
`
`that the link key ultimately feeds into.
`
` Q So the question is -- still stands: What is
`
`the definition of "pair" that you have used for purposes
`
`of your report?
`
` MR. PEARCE: Objection to form.
`
` THE WITNESS: I use the Bluetooth definition
`
`that I cited earlier. And I can find it again if you
`
`want me to.
`
`BY MR. EDMONDS:
`
` Q I'm saying what -- I'm not saying which one you
`
`consulted or which one informed you, I'm saying which
`
`one did you actually use, in other words operate under?
`
` A And that was --
`
` MR. PEARCE: Objection to form. Go ahead.
`
` THE WITNESS: Right. And it's the same answer.

`
`It's not only that I consulted it, but because Bluetooth
`
`defines it, and the dispute here resolves around
`
`Bluetooth, I used the Bluetooth definition.
`
`BY MR. EDMONDS:
`
` Q Okay. And so did you use other definitions, or
`
`is the Bluetooth definition the definition that you used
`
`for purposes of your report for the word "pair"?
`
` A I used the Bluetooth definition when I was
`
`analyzing Mashita, for example, and what he does.
`
` Q Did you use any other definition than the
`
`Bluetooth definition for the word "pair" in your report?
`
` A For the word "pair." Not from memory.
`
` Q What's the difference between paired
`
`connections and non-paired connections?
`
` MR. PEARCE: Objection to form.
`
` THE WITNESS: Are we talking just about
`
`Bluetooth here?
`
`BY MR. EDMONDS:
`
` Q As you've used "paired" in your declaration.
`
` A Well, for the most part, I've used "paired" in
`
`my declaration in the context of Bluetooth, so I'll
`
`restrict myself to that.
`
` As I showed in the figure that I just cited, a
`
`Bluetooth connection can exist at a very primitive level
`
`that pairing happened -- happening, but the two devices

`
`can't do much at that level. So there can be a
`
`connection that's not paired, but it's not very good for
`
`much.
`
` Q In the situation of -- and is that -- so were
`
`you -- were you referring to step 7A where it says
`
`"optional pairing" in that Figure 31 in Exhibit 2006?
`
` MR. PEARCE: Objection. Form.
`
`BY MR. EDMONDS:
`
` Q Here, let's -- you can pull that out. I
`
`actually have a smaller copy to kind of work with here,
`
`if that helps. It's just a subset of the pages. So you
`
`can feel free to consult either one, but we'll mark that
`
`as Exhibit No. 1.

`
`one.
`
` Do you have it?
`
` A Yes, sir, I see that also.
`
` Q Okay. So is -- when you were referring to that
`
`in Bluetooth you can have connections that are unpaired,
`
`were you referring back to this step 7A where it says

`
`"optional pairing"?
`
` A Well, in general. In other words, there can be
`
`a connection in step 1, and I suppose two devices could
`
`stop there. There can be a connection preceding in step
`
`3, but -- and if a PIN is put in, then pairing happens
`
`in step 7A. So it's -- it's not just pairing, it's
`
`authentication. Do the two devices really trust each
`
`other.
`
` So you may be asking is there such a thing as
`
`a -- as an unauthenticated connection, and as opposed to
`
`an authenticated question -- connection.
`
` Q So following the flow of this diagram, is --
`
`for Bluetooth communications, is pairing optional?
`
` A Well, in order to establish an authenticated
`
`connection, there has to be the link key. And if the
`
`host doesn't have the link key, then pairing explicitly
`
`happens. Then the keys that result are stored so that
`
`when the two devices talk to each other later, they
`
`don't have to go through the step of entering the PIN
`
`again.
`
` Q Is that a "yes" to my question the pairing is
`
`optional?
`
` MR. PEARCE: Objection to form.
`
` THE WITNESS: If the devices want to
`
`authenticate, then at some point pairing has to have

`
`happened because the user has to have identified the two
`
`devices to each other.
`
`BY MR. EDMONDS:
`
` Q Well, it says "optional pairing." Are you
`
`saying the pairing is not optional?
`
` A I'm saying that pairing happens as a
`
`predecessor to full authentication happening inside
`
`Bluetooth.
`
` Q Is pairing optional in Bluetooth, yes or no?
`
` MR. PEARCE: Objection to form.
`
` THE WITNESS: Well, the question doesn't admit
`
`of a yes or no answer. The diagram on the face says
`
`that pairing is optional, but it's in the context of
`
`authentication.
`
`BY MR. EDMONDS:
`
` Q Can you have an authentic -- can you have an
`
`authenticated connection in Bluetooth without pairing?
`
` A Only -- as I understand it, only if a link key
`
`has been previously established.
`
` Q Can you have a secure connection in Bluetooth
`
`without pairing?
`
` A You may be trying to distinguish between a
`
`secure connection and an authenticated connection. Or
`
`you may be invoking the simple secure pairing that's a
`
`new feature of this particular version of this spec. So

`

`
`sorry, this version of Exhibit 2006.
`
` Q Anywhere within Bluetooth, can you have a
`
`secure connection without pairing?
`
` MR. PEARCE: Objection to form.
`
`BY MR. EDMONDS:
`
` Q And let's just, to be more clear, any --
`
`anywhere within this Bluetooth 2.1 from 2007 we're
`
`looking at here.
`
` A Well, this is what, a thousand page document,
`
`1,300 page document. I haven't memorized it. I've been
`
`focusing in my work on authentication because pairing is
`
`part of authentication. And I do know that Bluetooth
`
`has considered an authenticated connection to be a
`
`secure one even if it wasn't -- even if the security
`
`wasn't very good.
`
` So I will say that I understand pairing to be
`
`part of authentication, but I don't want to go on record
`
`as to saying that's known to be a secure connection yet.
`
` Maybe I'll review the spec during the break and
`
`we can come back to that.

`
` Q Okay. But as you -- maybe we will, maybe we
`
`won't. As you sit here today answering this question
`
`now, do you know one way or the other as to whether you
`
`can have a secure connection within Bluetooth 2.1
`
`without pairing?
`
` A As I understand it, a link key has to be in
`
`place for a Bluetooth connection to be considered secure
`
`in any way.
`
` Q So if you'd turn to paragraph 77 and 78 of your
`
`report --
`
` A By the way, I'd like to clarify that the
`
`diagrams and the definition I've pointed out exist also
`
`in the version of the Bluetooth spec from which I
`
`extracted my Bluetooth specification exhibit.
`
` Q Okay.
`
` A All right, page which, please?
`
` Q Let's see. It would be 41 -- 78 is on page 41.
`
` A Yes, sir, I'm at paragraph 78.
`
` Q And -- yeah, okay. So the last sentence in
`
`paragraph 77 says:
`
` "A POSITA would understand that
`
` Bluetooth provides a short-range paired
`
` wireless connection."
`
` Correct?
`
` A You read the sentence correctly, yes, sir.

`
` A I'm not assuming that Hiraishi and Onishi use a

`PIN, but it was common practice at the time to use a PIN
`
`to pair two Bluetooth devices.
`

`

`
`terminate a Bluetooth link?

`

`
` MR. PEARCE: Same objection.
`
` THE WITNESS: -- briefly, in the world of
`
`networking and communications, there are layers of
`
`software. For example, in Bluetooth there's the LM
`
`layer, and above that is the L2CAP layer. And after
`
`various steps, those layers are established between the
`
`two devices. And those layers allow things to happen.
`
