Hi Jack,

I don't think it's possible unless you implement an extra whitelisting or controlling on application layer. One simple way is to require the app to send a "password" in a time window says 10 seconds after connection or the peripheral will disconnect. The peripheral should not disclose any data until the password is written.
Yes, if the central use public/static address. If the central uses Resolvable random address, the peripheral will store the IRK to resolve.
They are the same, at least on our chip.
