 I am reading the Mesh Spec and came across 
 The device key is derived from the ECDHSecret and ProvisioningSalt.

&lt;p&gt;The ProvisioningSalt is a value that is calculated based on other values involved in the provisioning process, all of which are defined throughout chapter 5.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I find it a bit strange that there is no reference to it from where you found that line (beginning of chapter 5), but there is a reference at the end of section 3.8.6.1:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;The ProvisioningSalt is defined in Section 5.4.2.5 and the ECDHSecret is defined in Section 5.4.2.3&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From Section 5.4.2.5:&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;ProvisioningSalt = s1(ConfirmationSalt || RandomProvisioner || RandomDevice)&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ConfirmationSalt, RandomProvisioner and RandomDevice are all defined in Section 5.4.2.4.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regards,&lt;br /&gt;Terje&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
