Interesting, but yes, encryption of an application is not vital at all 
but creating a simple binary application would be necessary. Bluetooth 
is little use currently as far as I can see, but depending on what else 
is left out it could be workable. For example access to Networking would 
be vital as some simple applications could be servers or clients 
listening to the network, so would access to the OS would be necessary. 
I will send you an email tomorrow, it's very late here, and I have a 
doctors appointment early in the morning.
