Bonding of two devices, eg two smartphones, or a computer and keyboard. Term is commonly heard in combination with Bluetooth. When pairing successfully completes, a bond forms between the two devices. This enables those two devices to connect to each other in the future without repeating the pairing process to confirm device identities. When desired, the user can remove the bonding relationship.

What is the reduction of BLE link throughput if encryption is enabled?
I have read reports that expected throughput on iOS devices is up to 3 kilobytes per second (for example, the article here), but these reports seem to measure the throughput only for unpaired devices, which means no encryption.
My peripheral is…
