[quote userid="74290" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/39419/regarding-ble-security"]And any way to handle the passkey if devices that have to be connected/bonded are in very high numbers.I dont want to use static passkey.[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;If you want to use non-static passkey, typically the&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;peripheral&amp;nbsp;will need to show the pin-code somehow, e.g. using a display, and then you will need to input the pin-code on the central-side using a keyboard.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
[quote userid="74290" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/39419/regarding-ble-security"]One more constraint is there that one device doesn&amp;#39;t have input output capabilities.Any example or reference to the main structure would be halpful.[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;If the central device can read NFC tags, you could consider using&amp;nbsp;Out of Band (OOB) NFC Pairing instead of passkey.&amp;nbsp;If you want to read more about BLE&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;security, I recommend reading the information at &lt;a href="https://www.digikey.com/eewiki/display/Wireless/A+Basic+Introduction+to+BLE+Security"&gt;this page&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
