------------------------------------------
Summary: BLE Host - Reject pairing attempt from already bonded peer
Key: MYNEWT-750
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYNEWT-750
Project: Mynewt
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Nimble
Reporter: Christopher Collins
Fix For: v1_1_0_rel
If a device is already bonded, the host should not allow the same device to
pair again. Currently, the host blindly proceeds with the pairing operation.
This should not be allowed because the second peer could be an imposter
masquerading as the original.
I propose the following behavior in such a scenario:
# Host notifies application of the duplicate pairing attempt via the gap event
callback. The callback would specify a new event code that specifically
indicates a duplicate pairing attempt.
# The gap event callback would return an error code indicating which of the
following behaviors to perform:
## Reject the pairing request.
## Delete the original bond and proceed with the pairing operation.
