bluetooth - Can you uniquely identify a BLE MAC address in Android 5.0? -
in android 5.0, ble doesn't use static mac addresses anymore, macs change after intervals, using method called irk , public key cryptography.
is possible uniquely identify android phone in way can not spoofed user of phone, or has become impossible unless other side co-operates?
no, not possible. that's whole idea of using irks: only bonded devices can identify after address changes. not possess irk (because have not bonded), appear new device (hence privacy).
