The Host should ensure that strong PIN Codes are used. PIN Codes can be up to a maximum of 128 bits. Note: The PIN_Code Parameter is a string parameter. Endianess does therefore not apply to the PIN_Code Parameter. The first octet of the PIN code should be transmitted first. Which means, even if your PIN code of 4 byte length you have to send 16 byte length of PIN code to controller. And controller uses initial bytes from the 16byte PIN code, the length of the PIN code is defined by length parameter. What you are looking at is correct, after 4 bytes of PIN code, you have some junk/host selected data which is of no interest to controller.
