### Provisioning key
The Provisioning key is the private key, which represents the user. The Signed
package is encrypted using the Provisioning key, making it impossible for other
users to uncover the Provisioning data.
The Provisioning key identifies either a Device series or a Device group.
A Device series is a bunch of devices managed under one number before
provisioning. A Device group is a group of personal devices of one user.
Because after provisioning a Device group is related to exactly one user the
Provisioning key relates to this single user in case of managing Device groups.
It is more secure to manage Device groups instead of Device series. The option
to manage Device series is only there in case the management process does not
support managing Device groups.
