Will AES encryption work for characteristic read/write if devices are not paired?

If the 580 device is not paired / bonded with an Android phone, can I still enable AES encryption?

Hi ankitdaf,

Hi ankitdaf,

I am not sure what you mean, but you can use the AES engine in order to ecrypt data by using the GAPM_USE_ENC_BLOCK_CMD, please check the RW-BLE-GAP-IS for more info on the subject. Please check the following FAQhttp://support.dialog-semiconductor.com/faq/does-da14580-support-aes-128...

Thanks MT_dialog

You cannot get "automatic"

You cannot get "automatic" AES encryption on all packets sent unless you do pairing. If you don't want to pair but still want to encrypt stuff, you'll have to encrypt your data manually and the receiver must also decrypt it manually.
