Return material authorization fulfillment system for network devices with specific cryptographic credentials

A method for removing credentials from a device, comprising:

• receiving, by a receiving device of a computing system of a first entity, a removal request, wherein
• the removal request includes a device identifier associated with a device,
• the removal request is signed by a second entity having generated a set of security credentials stored in a memory of the device,
• the removal request is signed using a private key possessed by the second entity having generated the set of security credentials,
• the set of security credentials restricts access to one or more components or operations of the device, and
• the first entity and second entity are separate entities;
• extracting, by a processing device of the computing system, the device identifier included in the received removal request;
• generating, by the processing device of the computing system, a permit configured to remove the set of credentials from the device;
• and
• transmitting, by a transmitting device of the computing system, the generated permit to the device for removal of the set of credentials from the memory of the device.
