Nus client and write to secure characteristic

[Raghav Iyer]

Hi,

I have modified the nus service and added two new characteristics called txs and rxs which support read and write protection.

on the peripheral i have set BLE_GAP_CONN_SEC_MODE_SET_LESC_ENC_WITH_MITM for txs and rxs

The service is working as expected from NRF connect for android.

Now I have modified the nus client service as well and implemented my own ble_nus_c_string_send_secure, which writes to the secure characteristic.

I have bonded the central device with nus client to peripheral with nus service.

the ble_nus_c_string_send command works and peripheral receives the string, but ble_nus_c_string_send_secure command returns NRF_SUCCESS but peripheral does not receive the string.

Am I missing something?

for writing to a secured characteristic, do I have to pass more to the sd_ble_gattc_write function?

Thanks,

Raghav

Hello,

So, what does your implementation look like? What is the difference between ble_nus_c_string_send and ble_nus_c_string_send_secure? Do they write to the same characteristic, or does it write to the new characteristics, rxs? Is the rxs set up properly on the peripheral?

 

It is a bit difficult to say what the issue may be only with a brief description of your implementation. Could you upload at least the implementation of ble_nus_c_string_send_secure()?

 

Best regards,

Edvin

Hi Edvin,

I will attach files that I have changed and this is how I have configured the NUS service on the peripheral

BLE_GAP_CONN_SEC_MODE_SET_LESC_ENC_WITH_MITM(&nus_init.nus_rxs_attr_md.cccd_write_perm);
BLE_GAP_CONN_SEC_MODE_SET_LESC_ENC_WITH_MITM(&nus_init.nus_rxs_attr_md.read_perm);
BLE_GAP_CONN_SEC_MODE_SET_LESC_ENC_WITH_MITM(&nus_init.nus_rxs_attr_md.write_perm);

BLE_GAP_CONN_SEC_MODE_SET_LESC_ENC_WITH_MITM(&nus_init.nus_txs_attr_md.cccd_write_perm);
BLE_GAP_CONN_SEC_MODE_SET_LESC_ENC_WITH_MITM(&nus_init.nus_txs_attr_md.read_perm);
BLE_GAP_CONN_SEC_MODE_SET_LESC_ENC_WITH_MITM(&nus_init.nus_txs_attr_md.write_perm);


Please check the function ble_nus_c_string_send_secure in the nus client
