Abstract
Techniques are provided for security key integrity verification using inventory certificates. One method comprises receiving a user request to perform an action: obtaining an inventory certificate associated with a device; extracting a security key identifier from a security key corresponding to the device; validating the security key by comparing the extracted security key identifier to a security key identifier in the inventory certificate; and authorizing a performance of the action based on a result of the comparison. A validity of the inventory certificate may be evaluated (e.g., by evaluating a signature associated with the inventory certificate). The inventory certificate may be stored in a secure memory of the device prior to a delivery of the device to a purchaser of the device.
