That is correct. And as Emil suggests, security mode 1 is generally a better security implementation all around.

Can you use security mode 1 instead? It's a much better mode in almost all aspects. Bluetooth SIG recommends to use mode 1 instead of 2.

Hi,

That is to say, if I want to use these digital signature functions, I have to change another SDK and change another zephyr os to support these functions.

Security mode 2 (or more specifically data signing) is not supported in any of the SoftDevices in the nRF5 SDK. From what I have heard, data signing is in general not very widely used as most phones on the market doesn't support this feature either.

The alternative will be to use the nRF Connect SDK where data signing is supported and should work. The GAP security features in Zephyr are described here, and data signing here in the Zephyr project.

Best regards,

Simon

This is currently set by nrf52833, and the phone needs to enter the key.
