Out Of Band Example

[Justin]

Hello,

I am using nrf52832 as a peripheral and running SD S132. l am looking for an ble peripheral example wherein the Out of Band security level is used.

Can you point me to one of the OUT of Band examples?

Thanks,

Justin

Hello,

Sorry for the late reply. 

Yes and no. What do you intend to use for your OOB? Some particular protocol that you intend to use?

Best regards,

Yes, I am planning to use the passcode that we will getting from another chip which is interfaced with nrf52832 over spi.

I understand. No, we don't have a sample that does OOB, strictly speaking. The SDK\examples\ble_peripheral\experimental\ble_nfc_pairing_reference does it to some extent, but it has elements of a proprietary oob approach.

We do however have some samples that use passkey, such as the ble_app_gls example (SDK\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_gls), but that is not strictly OOB, because it doesn't use another protocol, but it does use passkeys printed in the log. They are not being sent over BLE, but generated on one side, and confirmed on the other side. 

So perhaps you can test this, and you can also see what happens if you set the SEC_PARAM_OOB to 1.

Best regards,

Edvin

Thanks Edvin. I will test it
