About sdk14.2 52832 password pairing timeout

[June6]

Hi

I'm working on a password pairing project. You must enter the correct password to connect properly.  And This function can be normally implemented between mobile phone and slave module. When the phone wants to connect, a password pairing box pops up, and you must enter your password to connect properly. But now the password function is also in effect between the master and slave modules. According to the simulation, it is known that the connection is broken because the master module did not respond to the password and the pairing timeout evt is entered from the module. How can i fix this problem?

Thanks

Hi,

Why do you want to exchange the encryption key this way? A more standard way would be to use LE Secure connection to establish the encrypted link in a secure way. Then you could use for instance numeric comparison or pass key entry to provide man-in-the-middle (MITM) protection.

Hi,

Can you tell me the standard practice? It's better to attach the code?

Thanks!

Hi,

I think I misunderstood the posts when I read them initially. Can you elaborate what you want to do? Is the problem that you use legacy pairing with static passkey MITM protection, and that this does not work when the peer is not a phone, but rather a device without a keyboard? If so, it should have the IO capabilities (io_caps) set accordingly, and MITM will not be used.

Br,

When the peer is not a phone, but rather a device without a keyboard. It's still work. The master module did not respond to the password. So the slave modules reply BLE_GAP_SEC_STATUS_TIMEOUT. It's not BLE_GAP_SEC_STATUS_SUCCESS. So leading to disconnection.

I have set IO capabilities DISPLAY ONLY.  And when is the time to disable MITI?

MITM？
