encryption and decryption of advertising data

Hii nordic;

I need to encrypt and decrypt my advertising data i.e;UUID,Major,Minor,etc.;  of my nrf52832

So it cannot be seen by third parties

my sdk version is 15.2 and softdevice is 132

  • Hi Naralasetty and Shivali, 

    I apologize for the very late reply. 

    I have modified the decryption_central project's main.c file to extract the nounce from the scan response packet and extract the beacon info from the advertisment packet. It then calls ctr_init() to update the nounce and then calls ctr_decrypt on the extracted beacon data. the main file is attached:

  • Hi Bjorn, would like to know what's the different calling 

    ctr_encrypt(m_beacon_info);
    ctr_encrypt(&m_beacon_info[16]);

    we necessary have to do this twice to encrypt ?

    Thank you. 

    Regards,

    Kathleen

  • Hi,

    Can you please tell why are you using ctr_decrypt() function twice for the same data in the above code?

    ctr_decrypt(m_beacon_info);
    ctr_decrypt(&m_beacon_info[16]);

    And is it necessary to add " case BLE_GAP_EVT_ADV_REPORT: "   within

    switch (p_ble_evt->header.evt_id) ?
    Also 
    scan_start();
    Are we supposed to add the above function as well?
