Abstract
The technology disclosed herein enables a method to receive an indication of a change to an operating mode of a device from a first operating mode to a second operating mode, and identify a cryptographic item stored at a memory of the device, wherein the cryptographic item corresponds to an identification of the device signed with a digital signature, and wherein the digital signature is based on a private key that is inaccessible to the device. On response to receiving the indication of the change to the operating mode of the device, the method can modify the cryptographic item stored at the memory, and operate the device in the second operating mode based on the modified cryptographic item. The indication of the change to the operating mode of the device can correspond to a detection of a change in a function of the device.
