Find out if the BLE connection is encrypted #805

Closed robert-virkus closed 9 months ago

robert-virkus commented 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? (please describe) In my BLE connection I have to transmit sensitive data. I only want to do that when the connection is really encrypted.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like to have extend the API like DeviceConnectionState to include the information if the connection is encrypted or not. Or maybe add another EncryptionState stream to have a non-breaking change instead.

Describe alternatives you've considered Haven't found any.

Additional context From #764 I understand that the connection will be encrypted when the connected device enforces that, however I would like to be able to detect that on the app side.

Thanks for your consideration!

Ble connection is encrypted only if hardware has encrypted characteristics and OS show pair pop up, library can not show if connection is encrypted or not.
