18 Key recovery

MyID allows you to set up a credential profile for smart cards that are used to collect recovered keys.

The smart cards are not fully-featured MyID cards; they are used only to collect recovered keys. You can issue, cancel, erase, and manage the PIN of these cards, but you cannot carry out other operations (for example, device update or device renewal).

Note: You can also request key recovery through the MyID Core API. This feature works differently to requesting and collecting key recovery through MyID Desktop; see the Requesting key recovery section in the MyID Core API guide for details.
