Detailed Description

Device Privacy.

   The privacy feature provides a way for the device to avoid being tracked over a period of
   time. The privacy feature, when enabled, hides the local device identity and replaces it
   with a private address that is automatically refreshed at a specified interval.

   If a device still wants to be recognized by other peers, it needs to share it's Identity
   Resolving Key (IRK). With this key, a device can generate a random private address that
   can only be recognized by peers in possession of that key, and devices can establish
   connections without revealing their real identities.

Note: If the device IRK is updated, the new IRK becomes the one to be distributed in all bonding procedures performed after sd_ble_gap_privacy_set returns. The IRK distributed during bonding procedure is the device IRK that is active when sd_ble_gap_sec_params_reply is called.

ble_gap_irk_t * pm_privacy_params_t::p_device_irk

          When used as input, pointer to IRK structure that will be used as the default IRK. If NULL, the device default IRK will be used.

When used as output, pointer to IRK structure where the current default IRK will be written to. If NULL, this argument is ignored. By default, the default IRK is used to generate random private resolvable addresses for the local device unless instructed otherwise.

uint8_t pm_privacy_params_t::privacy_mode

Privacy mode, see Privacy modes . Default is BLE_GAP_PRIVACY_MODE_OFF .

uint16_t pm_privacy_params_t::private_addr_cycle_s

Private address cycle interval in seconds. Providing an address cycle value of 0 will use the default value defined by BLE_GAP_DEFAULT_PRIVATE_ADDR_CYCLE_INTERVAL_S .

uint8_t pm_privacy_params_t::private_addr_type

The private address type must be either BLE_GAP_ADDR_TYPE_RANDOM_PRIVATE_RESOLVABLE or BLE_GAP_ADDR_TYPE_RANDOM_PRIVATE_NON_RESOLVABLE .
