A method is provided for temporarily enabling functionality of a secure device. The method includes storing public keys for respective trusted devices of at least one trusted device, storing device-unique data that is unique for the secure device, generating a unique hashed-based message authentication code (HMAC) key, computing, based on the HMAC key and the device-unique data, a unique HMAC, transmitting the HMAC to a trusted device of the at least one trusted device, receiving a signed HMAC from the trusted device, wherein the signed HMAC is the HMAC as signed by the trusted device using a private key of the trusted device, decrypting the signed HMAC using the public key for the trusted device, comparing the decrypted signed HMAC to the HMAC, and enabling functionality of the secure device based on a result of the comparison.
A method for temporarily enabling functionality of a secure device comprising:
A secure device comprising:
