Security in Bluetooth.

[pradeep8892]

Hi All,

I need to implement security in Bluetooth. I have seen many threads but I could not get proper information regarding how can I implement or add security in a project for example ble_app_uart project. I want to have MITM and random passkey based protection in my project. If I can add any crypto algo in the project for securing the data and BLE connectivity then that would be great. Kindly help to add these security features in my project and if possible provide me any document, tutorial where I can get these information, and these features in my project.

Thanks & regards

Pradeep

Hi Pradeep

As it happens, I just made an example yesterday, for nRF52832 with SDK v17.0.0 that takes the ble_app_gls example (which includes a random-generated Passkey printed by the nRF's UART when a central connects to it) and adds the Nordic UART Service from ble_app_uart to it.

You can test it by using the nRFConnect app for Desktop (with a DK) or mobile as a central device and connect to it. Please replace the existing ble_app_gls folder in examples/ble_peripherals with the attached file.

ble_app_uart_passkey.zip

Best regards,
