Disabling the encryption feature in NRF5340 DUT

[Kaviya.S]

Hi,

I’m working with an NRF5340 device paired with a Nordic HID mouse. Currently, data encryption is enabled after pairing, but the encryption and decryption modules are not fully implemented on our end. I’d like to temporarily disable encryption for testing purposes. How can I disable encryption?

Regards,

I am testing a Bluetooth connection between my code and an nRF5340 DUT. The nRF5340 DUT is programmed with the HIDS mouse example. I have verified the connection up to the pairing stage, and it seems fine between our device and the DUT. Now, when proceeding further, the data is encrypted. However, the encryption and decryption modules have not been developed on our end. Is there anyway to disable the encryption module in the NRF DUT?

You can disable this by setting CONFIG_BT_HIDS_DEFAULT_PERM_RW_ENCRYPT=n in you prj.conf

Hi,

I am setting CONFIG_BT_HIDS_DEFAULT_PERM_RW_ENCRYPT=n . But the packets are still encrypted  .
