What happens if a device or key is compromised?

Last reviewed 5 Sept 2026 · Review due 5 Mar 2027

Short answer

Compromise response should revoke or suspend affected credentials, rotate keys where supported, and re-enroll on a trustworthy form factor. Hardware-verified designs aim to contain software malware impact, but physical theft, insider misuse or flawed recovery can still create risk. Use only confirmed revocation channels.

Practical steps

  1. Use in-app or administrator revocation if available.
  2. Report suspected takeover through official channels.
  3. Re-provision after device replacement using approved recovery.

Limitations & conditions

  • Recovery must not bypass the intended hardware trust boundary.
