How to hide UUID Beacon in ADV Mode?

Hello everyone, I want to know and how, if it is possible, to hide UUID Beacon string during the advertising mode. My goal is to not show the UUID by any sniffer, like Master Control Panel (e.g.).

Thanks, Paolo

  • That's right! But I want to know if there is a method to make it invisible, for security. My idea is to send the correct UUID, then modify it (e.g. random UUID) and send the new UUID again. From APP side (smartphone) I'll receive the UUID string but only one is right, the others is wrong. My APP understand which is the correct UUID and handle the information. My goal is to use beacon like Eddystone EID....or similar to it Now I use SDK 6.1.0 and SD7.0.0, is it possible generate random numbers? Thanks, Paolo
