Whitelist & Random Resolvable Address

[Punit]

Does the Bluetooth Peer Address of NRF51 Chips change randomly [every 15mins] or does it remain same?

When implementing whitelisting for secured connection, it is required that this must remain same othewise the whitelisting concept is defeated.

Please suggest..

The address type of nRF51 is by default of the type "random static", meaning that the address will never change.

Update 09.03.16: I should work fine to add devices that changes address every 15 minutes (random private resolvable address) to the whitelist. For devices with that address type the IRK is used to filter devices instead of the address.

It should work to add devices with random resolvable and non-resolvable random address to a whitelist. The IRK is used for device filtering for random private resolvable addresses, instead of the device address.
