Does nRF52832 support pairing with encryption?

Does nRF52832 support pairing with encryption? If the answer is yes. Could you provide examples?

Hi,

All BLE examples you find that include the peer manager library support security:
https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/sdk_nrf5_v17.1.0/lib_peer_manager.html 

Examples are the HID mouse and keyboard, and the Heart Rate Sensor (HRS) project.

Note that the peer manager library can only run on the chip, since it rely on some very specific resources such as the internal flash etc, so it can't be used for instance with pc ble driver that I can see you are interested in from other cases you have open.

Thanks for your reply! Where can I find encryption/decryption example?

[Kenneth]

This is handled by the BLE softdevice and not seen by the application.

I just want example of application triggering softdevce to do encryption/decryption. I don't need to know how detail of how BLE softdevice handling encryption/decryption. Could you give example of application?

[snowuyl]

I found one example. Do you think is it a good example? https://github.com/Rtone/nrf52-secure-firmware

I recommend to start working with the latest nRF5 SDK v17.1 or (even better) start with the nRF Connect SDK for development. Go through the getting started for instance for BLE blinky and move your way over to the more complex examples that support bonding (encryption).
