Abstract
Reinstating access to a system of an admin whose certificate is invalid or expired is disclosed using a secret that is remapped. When the admin's certificate is expired, the admin may send a request for reinstatement to tenant admins. The voting operation is based on shares of a secret that have been distributed to validators. When the shares are successfully reconstructed to obtain the secret, the voting operation is affirmed or allowed to proceed. The secret is remapped after a period of time. Remapping the secret includes creating a new secret and distributing new shares of the new secret to a different set of validators.
