Description
Are there plans for supporting encrypted characteristics in the new BLE API? In my use case I set a password into the BLE device and I don't want to send it in the clear. So my characteristic needs to be marked encrypted.
Not sure if this involves much code at the python level, it should be more along the lines of pushing the right flags down into the various implementations. The stacks will take care of the encrypt/decrypt.

Research direction
Start by tracing the new BLE API through its various implementations and identify where characteristic flags are passed to the underlying stacks. Verify how encrypted characteristics are represented and confirm that the password is not sent in cleartext; done means the supported BLE implementations accept and enforce the encrypted flag.
