Questions about BLE security settings

[Terutaka Takeuji]

Hello, I'm an engineer living in Japan.

【Development environment】
"PCA10040 (nRF52832)" x 2 (central/peripheral)
"SDK:17.1.0"
"IDE:Segger Embedded Studio for ARM7.10a"

This is a question regarding BLE security settings.

Below are the security measures I would like to implement on the peripheral side.

●Security settings that I want to set
1. When connecting for the first time, allow connections from any central device.

2. For the second and subsequent connections, only the central device connected the first time will be accepted.
　* It does not appear when searching from the central device.

3. Delete connection information only when a specific button is pressed, and accept only the central device when connecting for the first time.

I used "ble_app_hids_keyboard" stored in the SDK of Ver17.1.0 as a reference.
Set up security using “peer manager” + “whitelist”
I ported it to a program I created, but the connection refusal behavior did not work.

When you check the log output from the "ble_app_hids_keyboard" sample program,
I understand that if the following log is output, the connection will be refused from the second generation.

"<info> app: m_whitelist_peer_cnt 1, MAX_PEERS_WLIST 8"
In the program I created, even if I connect from central
The connection could not be refused because the status did not change from "m_whitelist_peer_cnt 0".
I have confirmed that the advertisement signal from the peripheral is received by the central and is working.

Question 1)
Please tell me the conditions under which "m_whitelist_peer_cnt" is counted up in the sample program "ble_app_hids_keyboard".

Question 2)
Please let me know if there is a way to deny connections from the second device onwards using peer manager.
　
Question 3)
It seems possible to make the whitelist work without using a peer manager.
Please tell me the disadvantages (risks) in that case.
*This is the code written in "nrf_dfu_ble.c".

Question 4)
Please tell me the recommended method for implementing the above "security settings that I want to set".
It would be helpful if you could tell me with sample code.

Hi, 

Please clarify, when you tested with the ble_app_his_keyboard, the security feature of the example is what you need, correct ? 
This means you can pair with a central, after that the m_whitelist_peer_cnt will be increased. You can't connect with other centrals. If you want to allow a new central to connect you press button 2 (BTN_ID_WHITELIST_OFF) then the device will advertise openly and allow ne central to connect. 

If that's what you need, then we will need to look into why in your application it didn't work that way. m_whitelist_peer_cnt  should be increased if you do bonding with the central device and the bond information is stored (handled by peer manager automatically). You need to make sure that bonding is enabled (SEC_PARAM_BOND=1)

[Terutaka Takeuji]

Mr. Hung Bui, thank you for your reply.
I apologize for not being able to reply as I have been away for a long time.
I started work yesterday for the first time in a while, but the problem is still not resolved.

I understand the confirmation contents of the sample program "ble_app_his_keyboard".
I understand that pressing button 2 (BTN_ID_WHITELIST_OFF) to reset will remove the whitelist information.
"SEC_PARAM_BOND=1" was the same in the program I created, so there is no problem.

I asked this question because I wanted to port the whitelist to a program I was creating using "ble_app_his_keyboard" as a reference, but the method using a peer manager required the use of the "ble_advertising.c" module. When I ported this to a program I was writing, the build succeeded, but I found that the functionality I was building was affected.
Therefore, we are considering doing away with dynamic whitelisting using peer managers.

Starting today, I would like to implement a dynamic whitelist without using a peer manager.
I would like to apply a dynamic whitelist using the DFU method using "nrf_dfu_ble.c" as a reference.
However, I am having trouble finding any reference materials even after searching on DevZone and the Internet.
I found multiple tickets asking similar questions to mine, but no proper answers.

question)
Please let me know if there is a sample program that implements a dynamic whitelist on the peripheral side without using a peer manager.
I would like to know what kind of sample programs I can build if I only have DFU samples.

thank you.

Hi, 

To add DEBUG you would need to go to Project setting, not solution setting. 
It should have other setting for example APP_TIMER_V2 ,... 

It should look like this: 

Error code 7 means NRF_ERROR_INVALID_PARAM. So something wrong with your parameter for advertising. 

Please send us your modified ble_app_his_keyboard that doesn't use ble_advertising.c so we can test here. 

[Terutaka Takeuji]

thank you for your reply.

To add >DEBUG you need to go to the project settings, not the solution settings.
→As you taught me, I added "DEBUG" in the project settings, but the result was the same. Therefore, after setting, the error log will not be visible in the terminal software.

>Error code 7 means NRF_ERROR_INVALID_PARAM. There is a problem with the advertising parameters.
→I also thought there was a problem with the parameters, but I couldn't find a solution.
Please let me know if you know the solution.

>Please send us your modified ble_app_his_keyboard that does not use ble_advertising.c so we can test it here.
→I have attached "main.c" of "ble_app_his_keyboard" that I created yesterday.
I checked the operation again today, but it was something I didn't understand.
Therefore, it may not be very helpful.
Advertising is possible, but the security status is unknown.

Previously, when I tried to port "ble_app_his_keyboard" to a program I was creating, the whitelist was not working, so if possible, I would like to implement security with "36087.main.c" that I sent 3 days ago. I would like to do so.

thank you.

Hi,

When you enable debug, you may need to reset the DK after you program and open UART terminal. 
It doesn't reset if there is a crash so you need to reset it by pressing the pin reset button to be able to see the log.

Please find the attached main.c for ble_app_hrs example. You can just replace main.c of the ble_app_hrs to test it.

What I found is that you need to call identities_set() in addition to whitelist_set. 
It will advertise without whitelist if the whitelist is empty.

[Terutaka Takeuji]

thank you for your reply.
Sorry for the late reply, I was busy with other work.

I checked the operation of the "3872.main.c" you sent to me on the HRS (Heart Rate Sensor) project.
The results were as follows.

■Heart Rate Sensor sample operation results
Confirmed with 2 smartphones and 1 nRF52832.
　
①Start advertising
   Scan with smartphone A and smartphone B and both will be displayed.
② Connection
   Establish a connection with smartphone A.
    A connection cannot be established from smartphone B.
③Disconnection
　Disconnect the connection using smartphone A.
    The peripheral LED lamp does not go out.
    A connection can be made from smartphone B.
    *Unstable condition.
④Reset processing Power On/Off
   I scanned with smartphone A and smartphone B and could not search for either.
   *Is the whitelist enabled?
⑤ Execute “delete_bonds”
   When I press the reset button while holding down button 2, the following error occurs and I cannot delete the whitelist.
   <error> app: ERROR 8 [NRF_ERROR_INVALID_STATE] at        C:\Nordic\SDK\17.1.0\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_hrs\main.c:209
    PC at: 0x00033D59
　<error> app: End of error report
⑥ After program initialization
　Do the same movement as above.

I have confirmed the above behavior.
After the reset, the whitelist appears to be working, but
It was not possible to initialize the whitelist, so the results could not be said to be successful.

I added "identities_set" to the sample program "36087.main.c" that I sent earlier and confirmed its operation.
The result was the same error as before and it didn't work.

Is it impossible to operate the whitelist and peer manager without using "ble_advertising.c"?

In the sample you sent, the timing at which "peer_id_count" is counted up is strange, but it is counted up after the reset, so I think it is possible.
I will continue to challenge myself based on the sample program I received.
If you have any good information, please contact me.

thank you.

[Terutaka Takeuji]

Hello, Hung Bui

I improved "36087.main.c" based on the sample program you taught me last time, and since I was able to get the expected behavior, I am attaching the program.

The attached program works by replacing main.c in "ble_app_hrs".
It was very difficult because I had to modify the project file and config file so that it would work with the "ble_app_blinky" project that was originally based on it.

The operation of the attached program is described below.
■Operation confirmation environment
  Confirmed with 2 smartphones and 1 nRF52832.

■Program operation
  This program performs a simple operation in which LED lamp 3 lights up when a connection is received, and then LED lamp 3 turns off when a connection is received.

①Start advertising
   If you scan with smartphone A and smartphone B, both will be displayed.
②Connection
   Connect with smartphone A.
   Connection cannot be made from smartphone B.
③ Cutting
   Disconnect from smartphone A.
   Connection cannot be made from smartphone B.
    *I can delete the connection, but for some reason I can't disconnect it.
④Reset processing or power on/off
   I scanned with smartphone A and smartphone B, but neither was searched.
   *The whitelist will be enabled and will no longer appear in the scan.
    The reason it is not displayed on smartphone A is because the settings have been deleted.
⑤ Execute “delete_bonds”
   If you hold down Button 2 and press the Reset button, the whitelist will be deleted and you will be able to scan again.

problem)
 ●Peripheral side
  Connections can be deleted after creating a whitelist, but cannot be disconnected.
  I have confirmed that the "ble_app_hids_keyboard" sample allows disconnection even after creating a whitelist.

 ●Central side
   I don't know how to create a whitelist for connections.
   When connecting with a smartphone, a whitelist is created, but with a central program based on "ble_app_blinky_c", the whitelist is not created even if the connection is successful.

question)
  1. Please tell me how to release the connection in the peripheral side program.

  2. Please tell me how to create a whitelist for connections in the central program.
     I am thinking of creating a central program by analyzing the sample program "ble_app_hrs_c",
     but do I need to set a whitelist for the central program as well?

thank you.

Hi 輝隆, 
I'm glad that you managed to make it works. 
I'm not so sure what you mean by "can not be disconnected" 
Could you describe what exactly happen when you try to disconnect from the central (the phone ?) side ? 

Regarding whitelisting on the central, it's possible to do scanning (and connecting) with whitelist. I'm not aware of a sample that does whitelist with scanning, but I don't think it would be much different compare to what you need to implement on the peripheral side. 

[Terutaka Takeuji]

Hello, Hung Bui. Happy new year
I am starting work today after a long winter break.

>I don't really understand what you mean by "cannot disconnect".
> Could you please explain exactly what happens when I try to disconnect from the central (phone?) side?
→Disconnect is an operation that disconnects communication while leaving the settings unchanged.
Deleting means deleting the settings themselves.
I'm attaching an image because it may not be conveyed in words.

Also, I didn't explain security because I thought it was only for the peripheral side, but this product uses the nRF52832 on the central side as well.
We are verifying the implementation of security measures to prevent unauthorized access from smartphones.
I understand that security settings using a whitelist + peer manager require security settings for the central device as well.
The "ble_app_hids_keyboard" sample program did not have a paired central sample program, but "ble_app_hrs_c" had a peripheral paired sample program.
Therefore, our plan is to create a central program using "ble_app_hrs_c" as a reference.

Please let me know if my thinking is wrong.

thank you.

Hi 輝隆,

It's not common way of handling BLE device using the Bluetooth setting. You may want to try using an app, for example nRF Connect app to connect and disconnect. 
There could be some reason that the phone doesn't want to disconnect. From what I can see, it's most likely that the phone didn't send the disconnect command.

You may want to capture a sniffer trace of the connection, so that we can check if the phone actually send the connection termination request or not. 

But as I said the common way of handling BLE device is to use an app. 

Regarding your whitelisting question, the whitelist when used on one side of the connection is independent/transparent to the other side of the the connection. This mean if you use whitelist on the advertiser, it simply filter out the connection request or scan request of other scanner/central. It only allow the connect request or scan request from the scanners/centrals that are in the list. 

So the central doesn't need to know about if the advertiser is using whitelist or not. 

If you want to implement whitelist on the central side it's fine. But you should have a reason for that. 

Whitelisting doesn't provide much of security from my opinion. Any device can spoof the peer address and can pass through the whitelist. The actual security you can implement is to do pairing and bonding between the two device.

Hello, Hung Bui

Last weekend, I was able to develop a central side sample program using nRF52832.
I can now connect the nRF52832 to the peripheral side program "25841.main.c" and build a product that takes into account the security behavior I expected.

thank you very much.

Security could not be achieved with "ble_app_hrs_c", which was originally used as a central program.
After looking into it again, I thought that there might be some hints in the sample program "ble_app_multirole_lesc", and when I worked on it, I was able to create a central program that could execute all the specifications I had in mind.

The sample "ble_app_multirole_lesc" was a sample program that operated the central function and peripheral function at the same time, so I focused on checking the operation of the central function only.

I almost gave up, but I'm glad I succeeded.

thank you.
