Proposed Group: Web Bluetooth Community Group

The Web Bluetooth Community Group has been proposed by Jeffrey Yasskin:


Bluetooth is a standard for short-range wireless communication between devices. This group is developing a specification for Bluetooth APIs to allow websites to communicate with devices in a secure and privacy-preserving way.

In particular the web Bluetooth API focuses on minimizing the device attack surface exposed to malicious websites, possibly by removing access to some existing Bluetooth features that are hard to implement securely. Further, the API takes the approach of a user interface to select and approve access to devices as opposed to using certification and installation.


You are invited to support the creation of this group. Once the group has a total of five supporters, it will be launched and people can join to begin work.
Once launched, the group will no longer be listed as “proposed”; it will be in the list of current groups.

In order to support the group, you will need a W3C account.

If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please send us email on site-comments@w3.org

Thank you,
W3C Community Development Team
