Ble pairing with authentication

[ShubMane]

1. I had done the pairing without any authentication but now I want to do it with the authentication with an authentication key.

2. please provide some sample code regarding the pairing authentication and its process.

Hi, 

Are you using NCS or nRF5SDK?

Hi team,

I am using the nRF52DK module PCA10040 board

[ShubMane]

static void nus_data_handler(ble_nus_evt_t * p_evt)
{
    int attempt = 0;
    char arr[6];
    char arr_1[6];
    
    bool flag = 0;
    
    if (p_evt->type == BLE_NUS_EVT_RX_DATA)
    {
        uint32_t err_code;

        NRF_LOG_DEBUG("Received data from BLE NUS. Writing data on UART.");
        NRF_LOG_HEXDUMP_DEBUG(p_evt->params.rx_data.p_data, p_evt->params.rx_data.length);

        for (uint32_t i = 0; i < p_evt->params.rx_data.length; i++)
        {
            do
            {
                err_code = app_uart_put(p_evt->params.rx_data.p_data[i]);

                if ((err_code != NRF_SUCCESS) && (err_code != NRF_ERROR_BUSY))
                {
                    NRF_LOG_ERROR("Failed receiving NUS message. Error 0x%x. ", err_code);
                    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
                }
            }while (err_code == NRF_ERROR_BUSY);
        }
        if(p_evt->params.rx_data.p_data[p_evt->params.rx_data.length - 1] == '\r')
        {
            while (app_uart_put('\n') == NRF_ERROR_BUSY);
        }

        //storing the data into array which is comming from the ble_master(nrf_connect app)
        for(int i=0; i<=5; i++)
        {
          arr[i] = p_evt->params.rx_data.p_data[i];
        }

        if(strcmp(arr, "123456") == 0)
        {
          printf("\nPassword is correct");
        }

        if(strcmp(arr, "123456") != 0)
        {
          printf("\nPassword is incorrect!!! Please try again");
          printf("\nPassword : "); // Here I want to wait till the new data had arrived

          //strcpy(arr_1, arr);

          if(strcmp(arr, "123456") == 0)
          {
            printf("\nPassword is correct");            
          }

        }    
    }
}

I want implement the logic as like it as it as follow like normal C code below. with 3 password attempt.

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>

int main()
{
	char password[6];
	
	// 1st attempt
	printf("\nPlease enter the password : ");
	scanf("%s",&password);   // provides the wait state
	
	
	if(strcmp(password, "123456") == 0)
	{
		printf("\nPassword is correct");
	}
	
	if(strcmp(password, "123456") != 0)
	{	// 2nd attempt
		printf("\nPassword is not correct!!! please try again");
		printf("\nPlease enter the password : ");
		scanf("%s",&password); // provide the wait state
		
		
		if(strcmp(password, "123456") == 0)
		{
			printf("\nPassword is correct");
		}
		
		if(strcmp(password, "123456") != 0)
		{
			// 3rd attempt
			printf("\nPassword is not correct!!! please try again");
			printf("\nPlease enter the password : ");
			scanf("%s",&password); // provide the wait state
			
			if(strcmp(password, "123456") == 0)
			{
				printf("\nPassword is correct");
			}
			
			if(strcmp(password, "123456") != 0)
			{
				printf("\nYour all attempt had finished!! Please reset device");
			}
			
		}
	}
	return 0;
}

the above same type of logic I want to Implement in the nus data handler "Password with 3 attempt".

for that I want to add the wait state till the new data had arrives.

[ShubMane]

Please tell me how to write a wait state.

Dear mam,

Please update on the priority.

Dear team,

Please update...

Dear mam,

Please update...

Hi, 

Sorry for the delay due to the weekend. 

Since sending data from central/phone each time will trigger the nus_data_handler, I think you maybe could a global variable to count the failing input.

Hi amenda,

I had declare the local variable in the nus data handler

static void nus_data_handler(ble_nus_evt_t * p_evt)
{
    int attempt = 0;
    char arr[6];
    char arr_1[6];  
    bool flag = 0;
    
    if (p_evt->type == BLE_NUS_EVT_RX_DATA)
    {
        uint32_t err_code;

        NRF_LOG_DEBUG("Received data from BLE NUS. Writing data on UART.");
        NRF_LOG_HEXDUMP_DEBUG(p_evt->params.rx_data.p_data, p_evt->params.rx_data.length);

        for (uint32_t i = 0; i < p_evt->params.rx_data.length; i++)
        {
            do
            {
                err_code = app_uart_put(p_evt->params.rx_data.p_data[i]);
                
                if ((err_code != NRF_SUCCESS) && (err_code != NRF_ERROR_BUSY))
                {
                    NRF_LOG_ERROR("Failed receiving NUS message. Error 0x%x. ", err_code);
                    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
                }
            }while (err_code == NRF_ERROR_BUSY);
        }
        if(p_evt->params.rx_data.p_data[p_evt->params.rx_data.length - 1] == '\r')
        {
            while (app_uart_put('\n') == NRF_ERROR_BUSY);
        }

        //storing the data into array which is comming from the ble_master(nrf_connect app)
        for(int i=0; i<=5; i++)
        {
          arr[i] = p_evt->params.rx_data.p_data[i];
        }

        flag = 0;

        // flag = 0; // password is correct
        // flag = 1; // password is incorrect

        if(flag == 0 && attempt == 0)
        {
          if(strcmp(arr, "123456") == 0)
          {
            printf("\nPassword is correct");
            flag = 0;
          }

          if(strcmp(arr, "123456") != 0)
          {
            printf("\nPassword is incorrect!!! Please try again");
            flag = 1;
            attempt++;
          }    
        }

        if(flag == 1 && attempt == 1)
        {
          printf("\nPassword : "); // Here I want to wait till the new data had arrive

          if(strcmp(arr, "123456") == 0)
          {
            printf("\nPassword is correct");
            flag = 0;
          }
          
        }

        // for n number of 
    }
}

I want to implemet the logic 

1. 3 times password is wrong then I want to show "please reset the device"
