Yes, I don't see any problem with that. Currently our static data is hardcoded as STATIC_AUTH_DATA.

You can use your algorithm to generate your own static authentication data. Make sure you match them on both the provisionee and provisioner.

I don't want to use OOB channel for authentication like NFC, display etc. etc. Can I generate 16 bytes of Static-OOB using DEVICE (nRF52) MAC address using some algorithm ? The same algorithm will work on Provisioner to generate 16-byte static-OOB to authenticate DEVICE (here I'm assuming provisioner has fetched MAC address from DEVICE advertisement)

Hi Vikrant,

Static authentication (including OOB static authentication) is already used in our example. Currently we used a fix data (look for STATIC_AUTH_DATA). But you can use NFC, QR code or anything to update this value (on both provisioner and provisionee). It should be pretty straight forward to implement. Have a look at the config_params in main() in our light switch example.

I've already send inquiry email regarding release date for Provisioner App & PB-GATT firmware support in Mesh SDK to Mr. Wendell Boyd. He will reply after 2 Jan since he is on Holiday.

(yes, I see that, apologies). We will release a provisioner for the mobile apps based on our roadmap. Typically roadmap questions and specific dates can be taken up with the sales manager for your region. If you need the contact for your region send me a private message with your location and I can send you the contact details.

I've raised this Question assuming Nordic Semiconductor is going to launch #BluetoothMesh Provisioner App . OOB authentication is related to it. Then tell me what is logic behind asking this Question on Zephyr forum ??????

I mentioned about Zephyr just for reference purpose.

Please post on the ZephyrOS forums or use their IRC channels for answers.
