4# ESP-IDF Gatt Security Client Example
5
6This example shows how to use the ESP BLE security APIs to secure connect to and encrypt with peer devices.
7
8## How to Use Example
9
10Before project configuration and build, be sure to set the correct chip target using:
11
12```bash
13idf.py set-target <chip_name>
14```
15
16To test this demo, you can run the [gatt_security_server_demo](../gatt_security_server), which starts advertising and can be connected to this demo automatically.
17
18There are some important points for this demo:
191. `esp_ble_gap_set_security_param` should be used to set the security parameters in the initial stage;
202. `esp_ble_set_encryption` should be used to start encryption with peer device. If the peer device initiates the encryption, `esp_ble_gap_security_rsp` should be used to send security response to the peer device when `ESP_GAP_BLE_SEC_REQ_EVT` is received.
213. The `gatt_security_client_demo` will receive a `ESP_GAP_BLE_AUTH_CMPL_EVT` once the encryption procedure has completed.
22
23Please, check this [tutorial](tutorial/Gatt_Security_Client_Example_Walkthrough.md) for more information about this example.

25### Hardware Required
26
27* A development board with ESP32/ESP32-C3 SoC (e.g., ESP32-DevKitC, ESP-WROVER-KIT, etc.)
28* A USB cable for Power supply and programming
29
30See [Development Boards](https://www.espressif.com/en/products/devkits) for more information about it.
31
32### Build and Flash
33
34Run `idf.py -p PORT flash monitor` to build, flash and monitor the project.
35
36(To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.)
37
38See the [Getting Started Guide](https://idf.espressif.com/) for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
