Encryption and Decryption process used

Hi,

I am working on a project where my mobile phone will be acting as a central device and nRF52840 DK will be acting as a peripheral device. I used the nRF UART and nRF toolbox app for basic string transfer from my phone to the nRF board. I was able to display the transmitted and received strings on the mobile app as well as on the desktop using Putty.

I wanted to know how the packets are going over the so I made another nRF52840 board as a sniffer. From the sniffer trace, I got to know that the data are sent and received as plain text. But I wanted to send and receive encrypted data.

When I searched on the internet I got to know that for sending and receiving encrypted data we need to pair and bond the device. So I added the peer manager to my code. Now I am able to send encrypted text from my central device to the peripheral device. The logs are attached below:

<info> app: LE Secure Connections example started.
<info> app: Advertising

<info> app: PERIPHERAL: BLE_GAP_EVT_SEC_PARAMS_REQUEST

The peer manager function is given below:

static void peer_manager_init(void)
{
    ble_gap_sec_params_t sec_params;
    ret_code_t err_code;

    err_code = pm_init();
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

    memset(&sec_params, 0, sizeof(ble_gap_sec_params_t));

    // Security parameters to be used for all security procedures.
    sec_params.bond           = 1;
    sec_params.mitm           = 1;
    sec_params.lesc           = 1;
    sec_params.keypress       = 0;
    sec_params.io_caps        = BLE_GAP_IO_CAPS_DISPLAY_YESNO;
    sec_params.oob            = 0;
    sec_params.min_key_size   = 7;
    sec_params.max_key_size   = 16;
    sec_params.kdist_own.enc  = 1;
    sec_params.kdist_own.id   = 1;
    sec_params.kdist_peer.enc = 1;
    sec_params.kdist_peer.id  = 1;

    err_code = pm_sec_params_set(&sec_params);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

    err_code = pm_register(pm_evt_handler);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
}

Can you please tell me what type of encryption and decryption procedure is used while bonding/pairing as well as while sending the encrypted data??

And where can I check this and if possible can I change the encryption algorithm used in the code???
