Bluetooth Mesh Certificate-Based Provisioning#

NOTE: This section replaces AN1386: Bluetooth Mesh Certificate-Based Provisioning. Further updates to this application note will be provided here.

Certificate-Based Provisioning (CBP) is defined in Bluetooth Mesh protocol specification version 1.1. CBP ensures that devices joining a Bluetooth Mesh network are authentic. This authentication method mitigates the risk of rogue devices joining the network by spoofing the identity of authentic devices.

This application note describes how certificates are used to establish the authenticity of devices wishing to join a mesh network.
