Hi ,
So my question is a generic one, not specifically for any part number , but in general for the BLE platform.
1. How secure will “Just Works” be for the first time pairing? As we are not sharing any pass key for the pairing, and also given the scenario of having multiple devices in the vicinity during the first time pairing.
2.Can we opt for the “Numeric Comparison” method(for the first time pairing) in case both the devices are not having any display.
Thanks in advance,
Mita
Hi Mita,
I would recommend reviewing our user guide section on GAP Bond Manager here. You might also find the simplelink academy security page useful here.
1. How secure will “Just Works” be for the first time pairing? As we are not sharing any pass key for the pairing, and also given the scenario of having multiple devices in the vicinity during the first time pairing.
As the documentation says, the "Just Works" pairing will be subject to MITM attacks.
2.Can we opt for the “Numeric Comparison” method(for the first time pairing) in case both the devices are not having any display.
As the documentation shows in the diagram (copied below for convenience), this is possible only if at least one of the devices has a keyboard (or a similar way of providing input).
Best,
Nate
