Abstract

Methods and systems for managing secrets are disclosed. To manage secrets, backups of the secrets may be obtained to facilitate future recoveries of the secrets. The backups may be established by a manufacturer of a device. When ownership in the device is transferred to a new owner, the backups of the secrets may be added to an ownership used to complete onboarding of the device to systems managed by the new owner. The new owner may use the backups, in conjunction with decryption keys, to access and use the secrets in the event of the secrets becoming inaccessible.
