Setup credentials?

[oscarvgg]

Hi, I'm fairly new to bluetooth development. I'm trying to read the characteristics in a Raspberry Pi from my iphone with CoreBluetooth. The problem is, I want to protect some of those characteristics from being read without authentication. I noticed there is a "secure" parameter in the Characteristic constructor, but I don't know how to set the credentials to restrict the access to it.

Thanks in advance.

The secure mode does not use credentials, it's more of a "trusted" mode, since you get a prompt.

One option would be to have a authentication service/characteristic, so if a pin code isn't written after X seconds, your app disconnects the peripheral. I have a few BLE devices that use this technique. There is also a disconnect event, that can be used to reset auth state when a device disconnects.
