Revoke

Change the live answer without changing the ink.

Live owner revoke on /created/; per-QR and whole-card scope

About this feature

Why it matters

Stolen merch batches, lost stickers, ended events, compromised contacts - physical objects need a kill switch. Revoke is the proof that deployment was not permanent.

Design decisions

Owner signs a typed revocation payload with a one-time nonce; resolver verifies Ed25519 signature and updates D1 status. Same HTTPS URL returns “revoked” on next scan. Per-QR scope: revoke one wristband while sibling credentials on the card stay active (print_artifact scope).

Safety · privacy · security

No operator password override. Replay protection on nonces. Revocation records are auditable public mutations - not hidden admin flags.

Limits

Revoke is not key rotation on the sticker - the URL remains public. Does not prove who physically held the object. “Un-revoke” requires issuing new credentials, not toggling back silently.

Future directions

Time-bound credentials, scheduled auto-expire, policy templates for events and retail runs.
