MITM Protection Option in nRF Connect for Desktop

[Akash Patel]

Hello,

I am using NCS v1.6.0, nRF Connect for Desktop v3.7.0, and the Bluetooth Low Energy app v2.5.1 (part of nRF Connect for Desktop). I am using the nRF52840 Dongle with the Bluetooth Low Energy app and the nRF52840 DK to run the examples below.

I am looking at the peripheral_hids_mouse and peripheral_hids_keyboard examples in the SDK and for both of them, in the section of "Testing with nRF Connect for Desktop" there is a step where it says to optionally enable MITM protection. When I check this box, there does not seem to be any difference in behavior. I also do not see an option to either "use a button on the device to confirm or reject the passkey value."

Can someone look at this and let me know if I am doing something wrong here?

Regards,

Akash Patel

Hi again

According to the developer either side of the link can request MITM protection, so if the button on app side doesn't have an effect it should be because it is requested on the peripheral side.
