Abstract
A system comprising one or more computers implements a hardware feature access service. The hardware feature access service stores private keys that correspond to digital certificates embedded in chipsets of devices enrolled in the hardware feature access service. The hardware feature access service is configured to issue access or access revocation messages to the chipsets to 'lock' or “unlock” associated hardware components. The hardware feature access service also implements a service interface that allows clients to request changes to enabled feature sets for devices enrolled in the hardware feature access service. In response to such requests, the hardware feature service automatically and wirelessly enables or disables feature sets by locking or unlocking relevant hardware components of a device relevant to enabling or disabling the requested feature sets.
