Abstract
This disclosure describes techniques that leverage remotely provisioned attestation certificates (RPAC) to actively deter device theft. Devices that are reported as lost are identified, and a robust access restriction mechanism is activated that denies both device-local and backend services to the device. To deny service, a bipartite mechanism is deployed that includes enabling a user to declare that their device is stolen and conveying to various services that the device is stolen.
