LE Secure Connections (ECDH) on S130

[Dominik]

Is the ECDH encrypted key exchange supported on the new S130? If not, when can we expect it to be available?

I am surprised this is not given a higher priority, since now the only safe solution is to use OOB, which requires additional hardware. The other two solutions, where the key exchange over the air is unencrypted, is essentially useless. See here and video here.

@Dominik, endnode: Current S130 (v1.0.0) doesn't support LE Secure Connection.

It's in our road map, but I don't know when it will be available.

For official information on future feature/product, please contact our sales representative.

I agree that Just work and Passkey is not very safe, but some measures can be done to make them safer, such as only perform bonding inside a protected environment, such as a Faraday Cage (microwave oven for example)

Indeed, I was just surprised that mobile vendors basically ignored OOB pairing for so long, but then very quickly accepted a new security mode (and still doesn't support OOB). Not that the community in general want to use it. To me it seemed like the mobile world didn't really care that much about security, but I guess they are just selective in what to include. (nRF52 supports NFC, which is perfect for OOB pairing - among other things).
