ESP-NOW Security #9

Hi

I have note used encryption with my own keys but I read that there is a default key that is used if one is not supplied ?

Do I infer from that that ALL peer to peer communication is encrypted by default using the default key ? If so how secure would it be ?

Regards mars000

I don't think there is a default key or encryption by default - if you're not using encryption then the packets are sent unencrypted. The ESP-Now User guide is here: https://www.espressif.com/sites/default/files/documentation/esp-now_user_guide_en.pdf

thanks for reply. Wondering have you tried using encryption. An update to your example but with encryption would be so helpful to example how to set it up. Just a suggestion that could help me and many others.
