Regarding Encrypted Advertising

[Justin]

Hello, I am using nrf52832 along with S132 soft device and SDK 17.1.0.

Is Encrypted Advertisement possible with the above configuration?

If so is there a good example that I can follow?

[Einar Thorsrud]

Hi,

There is no such example in the nRF5 SDK so that will have to be application specific and made by you. But I see no fundamental reason it should not be possible.

PS: Encrypted advertising is not common, but for reference, there is an example for it in Zephyr which is included in the nRF Connect SDK: Encrypted Advertising

Thanks Einar Thorsrud 

Had one follow-up question related to the same topic.

Would it violate BLE standard to encrypt company UUID (in advt.) at app level?

[Einar Thorsrud]

I believe so. The manufacutrere specific data type shall start with the 16 bit company identifier.
